Mom Gets Charged Extra $39.35 To Hold Her Baby After Giving Birth

ADVERTISEMENT

Hospitals do everything in their power to provide the best conditions for a mother giving birth and it’s completely fine that they charge people for these services, but one facility went a step too far. A new mother received a $39.35 hospital bill for  “Skin To Skin” service which is just a fancy term for holding your child.

“The nurse let me hold the baby on my wife’s neck/chest. Even borrowed my camera to take a few pictures for us. Everyone involved in the process was great, and we had a positive experience. We just got a chuckle out of seeing that on the bill,” the father said.

They forgot to add "Congratulated the wife with the baby while smiling friendly: $21,50" They got a bargain in my opinion.
