Pregnant on parents insurance and Medicaid

I’m 24 and pregnant and still on my parents insurance. I applied for Medicaid and got approved. My mom is making a big deal about me being on her insurance because she said I am going to have to pay a ton out of pocket for labor and delivery and that her and my step dads rates are going to go up. The deductible is $5000. I contacted insurance company and that’s what I was told; but she swears I am going to need to pay 7 grand plus 20% labor and delivery. My plan was to stay on their insurance until I was 26 and if I wasn’t pregnant, they would’ve had no problem with that. Now that I’m on Medicaid, would my parents cancelling my insurance and me only having Medicaid help me or hurt me? What would you suggest I do?

If it’s really stupid to get off their insurance, I would be able to convince them to stay on it with more knowledge; just right now me staying on their insurance along with being on Medicaid seems like a terrible idea in their eyes.
