The insurance contract for pregnancy and childbirth is concluded for at least six months. Its cost is determined on a case-by-case basis. The younger you are, the lower the amount. Your health condition also matters. Then you will be offered a choice of either private clinics or a public hospital that serves foreigners.
An annual insurance for Norway can cost about $3,000–5,000, but one should add housing and food expenses. Renting a one-bedroom apartment in Oslo will cost from $500 per month. Approximately the same amount will have to be spent on living expenses. Incidentally, Norwegian doctors believe that it is better for pregnant women to live in the country for half a year, acclimatize, meet the staff, rather than come to give birth 'on the spot'.
By the way, as Itogi notes, any foreigner who has been legally in Norway for 12 months (either under a labor contract or by virtue of marriage to a subject of the kingdom) automatically becomes a participant in the national health insurance program. The amount of the insurance premium in this case is determined by the tax authority. You only need to fill out an income declaration.
Medical insurance, frankly speaking, is not cheap. If you are a regular employee, it is 7.8 percent of annual income (the amount is paid by your employer); if you work in your own company, it is 10.7 percent and you pay it yourself. For example, an average Norwegian woman in an office may earn $25,000. This means that her employer pays about $2,000 in insurance premiums to the treasury per year.
