Moms Are Revealing How Much Their Hospital Bill Was For Giving Birth, And It’s Absurd

It’s crazy how different the figures are!

Hundreds or more babies are born daily, making birth the common reason for a journey to the emergency room. Many parents tend to leave the hospital happily, but their postpartum experience can be significantly affected by the medical bills that returned home with them.

Parents are no stranger to the mentioned above, and that’s why a mom and a TikTok user decided to spark discussion online, asking moms what age their kid was when they paid off childbirth bills.

The mom had just paid off her medical bill for giving birth to a baby girl in 2018, and to get some context out of her situation, she unveiled a clip-on TikTok asking other moms to share their experiences.

Fortunately, she got excellent care and was only in the hospital for three days, but the mom felt she shouldn’t have paid for it.

The mom admitted being covered by adequate insurance but still owed about $2800 on a bill of just over $28000. People’s stories were heartbreaking as parents who suffered a stillbirth, death, and miscarriage were still given huge bills to pay.
