“it was super smooth”
“i had a tear”
i’m scared
A tear is your least worry. You worry more that your baby is healthy and normal
It's very very probable to have a tear during delivery that's why surgeons cut it beforehand so that the recovery to an expert cut will be easy. Still I can't make u feel better about this because I'm scared too
It happens often that there is a tear. It will usually heal fast and isn't very painful
@@artraft3669 If you research actually they don't cut or perform an episiotomy all the time, and they are learning it is not always as neccesary as they used to think.
Not everyone have a wide and elastic vagina 🤣🤣🤣🤣 tear are common in labor
As a Canadian, any time I set foot in the US, I have constant anxiety that I’ll get injured somehow, and be bankrupted. Honestly, I’d rather crawl my way back across the border with appendicitis than go to a US hospital 😬

That's so expensive for just a baby. I hope he was wrapped in a gold casing, with water-proofing and an audio jack, otherwise it's not worth it lol.
The largest reason that anything medical related is so expensive in the USA is because of the insurance companies wanting a cut for themselves so the hospital's need to raise the price a whole margin to be able to afford to do the procedures
@@thecomputerguy6335 wow you really are a nerd
@@thecomputerguy6335 then why don't you protest against those insurance companies? They should be banned since they add no value, and make healthcare inaccessible for many people.
@@Qwerty-jc3so as would you be able to afford those kind of price's until noone uses them any more? And this is what Medicare or Obamacare in the USA was trying to offer and we all know what happened to them

Also the government: "Oh, no! Why are people having less children? We're so confused."
I have 8 children. It doesn't cost that much to have children 😅
@@amandalines530no it’s the hospital bills having the babies that are really expensive lol. Im only on my first she is seven month old and I did have insurance but I still owe like 5-6,000 cause her insurance covered hers was like 4,000
That's definitely not the reason
@@necrobabe6190 it’s a reason. But there is definitely a hundred reasons why people aren’t having kids. A big one is woman are too focused on a career and by the time they want kids it’s too late, also woman transitioning into men and wanting to give up on having a child for the sake of that, it’s actually not a huge percent of woman who don’t do it cause they hate/don’t want kids. Plus people change their minds when it comes to the third option I know countless people in my life that has changed their minds
If you can’t cover the $2k to cover your copay (this person clearly has an expensive PPO which makes their share higher) you aren’t prepared to have kids. If she had an HMO, her share would’ve been lower. But they wanted more choice so they chose to take the PPO plan and pay more out of pocket.
When your kid questions their value & worth:
“$36,000” 😂
That's the deposit you still have food, clothes, bottles, formula, breast pump, soap, diapers, wipes, medications, and many more. Kids are expensive as hell, especially when they get in high school wanting to be in extra curricular activities such as band or color guard.
@@rickydevil3314 I can understand kids being expensive, but I was in band and rocketry and color guard. The only thing I had to pay for was dry cleaning my uniform. I was in rocketry too and the class needed funding for competitions but that was money made from us doing promotions. Overall atleast for me my high school experience was dirt cheap (I mean it was $10 a week for dry cleaning)
@@bappochan6615 I had to pay for my instrument, uniform for band, and for color guard I had to pay for uniform, and my rifle and saber. In total a few hundred each year, but the most expensive was getting the instrument.

No! It won't. I mean let s be honest. We pay taxes so isnt actually for free. Anyway those prices are ridiculous honestly. I mean...... Wtf? It wasn't even a c section. Me i gived birth in a private hospital in Istanbul 4years ago and i stay 2 nights in, i had c section and paid what will be today 600 usd 😂🤣 And they took care of me and baby perfectly.

Nope, all paid for by your outrageous taxes. Things you pay for aren’t free, silly kiwi.

I’m in FL and had twins that required 10 weeks of NICU. Our bill was over 1 million. Thank God we had Medicaid. I have no idea what we’d have been looking at out of pocket without. We paid $5000 for our first child, and that was a home birth.
As someone who lives in the UK, hearing this is nuts
We had to pay $72,000 out of our pocket for our daughter being in nicu for 3 weeks. Our insurance doesn’t cover nicu and she was denied for Medicaid.
Oh wow why would you have to pay so much still if you had a home birth!?? Daylight robbery 😓
How the hell are you over the USA have children at that cost , thankfully in the UK,
@@tracycarr6695 I honestly ask myself this question a lot. I truly don’t understand why half the population here are against universal healthcare. I get that wait lists would be longer for regular services, but at least the average person would have access to them and an emergency or a child joining the family wouldn’t be a source of anxiety over potential financial ruin. It’s working in other places. I believe we could figure out how to make it work here.
"now I had insurance, it was *only* 2,200 dollars"
I'm sorry what
Fr wtf. Every women should cop
It’s kinda like decoy pricing so she thinks she’s getting a good deal from insurance but it sucks.
@@balancemaster55 No, they really do try to squeeze every penny.
The even sadder thing is that she probably paid around the same as the insurance company did if not more than they did. Those bills are only meant to scare people into buying insurance, and keep people poor while keeping healthcare admins rich. Insurance providers pay a small fraction of what that bill says, you would have to go through collections to get close to the same rates as insurance companies pay.
Insurance makes no sense

I hope that every mom could deliver as smoothly as you do ❤
This lady is extremely healthy and lucky for a second baby ….. we don’t know what she went through for the first one…. Women’s deliveries are supposed to be this easy it seems …. But past 200 years due to poor lifestyle and corrupted food…. Things have become difficult with both delivery and mentrual cycle ….
Women earlier didn’t have pms, menopausal symptoms or even postpartum sufferings … women needed 6 weeks of rest and nutrition after delivery and they were back to normal strength and routine….
AMEN.
With a tear that they had to stitch? 😮 That's not very "smoothly" if your vagina is torn up. Lord have mercy...
@@srisungazesplash1340girl, the child mortality rate was 50% before 200 years ago 😍
Mind boggling to see this, I’m from England three children, emergency caesarean with first and then two necessary scheduled caesareans. Two nights in hospital each time. Cost zero!!!
It's about the same in Canada as well. I'm sure there are some situations that there is a bill but also with being on disability I've not seen a bill with 3 kids natural deliveries, a private room with the first and 3 nights stay for monitoring, I think just overnight with the 2nd 2 because I knew I was okay to leave and wanted to shower and sleep at home.
That's crazy it's like you guys have some type of health care.....like a universal type🤔🤔🤔...nah that would never work in America.
I live in Canada and have 4 children. Not one cent was billed to me. We pay taxes so our healthcare is not free technically. We do have to pay for ambulance an in Ontario.
Same for me in Poland, three caesareans and 15 days total in hospitals - no charge :)
I think it’s because all charges in Europe are covered by y’all’s governments, over here we need insurance just for it to be covered.
As someone who lives in Europe I can confidently say that you are the one getting paid

This means tourists in America also need to be cautious, else they could end up bankrupt or in a prison.
I love how the American government wants women to have babies and yet it’s this expensive to have one

Probably because more money.
This applies to other governments too. In countries like South Korea it’s wayyyyy worse.

@@intreoo kinda true to an extent but the US gotta do a better job when it comes to healthcare and that includes abortion and such

Nah you just sell the baby. profit!
@Stick On Toast Yep. I had a horrible pregnancy towards the end. I had to go to the hospital two to three times a week for blood and urine tests, ultrasounds, blood pressure monitoring, foetal monitoring and more. I ended up having an emergency cesarean at 36 weeks and 2 days. I was given free clothes as none of my own baby clothes were small enough to fit my daughter. I was given free food and drinks during my visits and stay. I ended up staying there for 2 and a half days and I had to keep on returning after because my cesarean wound swelled up and opened, my liver was failing, my leg and foot swelling wouldn’t go down and more. The only thing I paid for was extra ultrasound pictures. This is not a privilege that I overlook.

12k$ in Zürich, Switzerland, including 5 days in hospital. All paid through obligatory basic swiss medical insurance.
I love that u said basic medical insurance. Ive always said we dont have to have the worlds greatest and the most benefits covered but we deserve to have basic medical coverage for all. A few dentist visits a year a few doctor chk ups a year. Eye exam per year and glasses for free.Birth should be absolutely covered. Theres so many other just basic things that are necessary for good health. Just being able to catch things on time so we dont die from a preventable disease.
I mean just the basics. Nothing fancy yet people are so against it and i will never understand it smh.
@@yvonnecortes_people Are against having to pay more in taxes to get even worse Healthcare and a wait list.
Switzerland understands that if they have even basic health insurance to cover basic needs (not specialist) then its good.
I agree that we should have something similar. But not have "free" Healthcare. Cause it's not free. I'd rather pay out of pocket and figure it out later or ignore the bill until I can pay it then have to wait to see a basic er doctor for years on a wait list.
The baby: yes, I was a speedrun and also an expensive one
Baby when being delivered : Dudududu... Dudududu SPEEDRUNN
As a European, to me it's insane that nobody is doing anything about it and accepts it as is
They even defend it when you tell them how insane it is.
Like we citizens can actually do anything about it
@@ChristinaMagma You could if most people agreed it is insane. That's basically the problem. Way too many don't see it.
Nah we don’t want the government in our healthcare. Quality goes down, wait times become the norm, procedures get declined, and you end up paying for lazy obese people that drag the healthcare system down.
Ours is the worst combination of over regulation and “free” market healthcare.

LOL, this had me chuckle out loud.
Or hire a midwife/go to a birth center and you still might pay less than the post insurance amount you owe. The care is FAR better and professional and they treat women like humans with empathy, and see birth as a normal event
It won’t necessarily save you from all costs. We had a home birth and still paid 5k. 🙃
5k is good compared to $20,000 LOL though. I agree, i think thepoint is its a fraction of the costs, and actually good care with follow up@@soulincolor
@@kaylaschregardus4062 I agree in general, and that is why we chose to go that route, though unfortunately my personal experience turned out to be way better with the hospital than the birth center in terms of delivery. I think I’m in the minority (I sincerely hope) but the midwife on call when I went into labor was “checked out” and botched things so bad that we were encouraged by multiple parties to sue. After that experience I did not have high hopes for the hospital, which I assumed could only be worse, but the nurses there were actually more encouraging and helpful and the delivery was easier, even with twins. I guess it just goes to show that it’s more about who you get than where you go. I will say I connected well with all the other midwives prior to delivery, and just happened to get the one that was over her job. If I had another single child I would attempt it again.
as a canadian i just can’t imagine the stress for that bill, i had a baby and it only cost us parking of 12$ a day

Yup xpensive! In the 90’s I had 2 make monthly payments to the hospital & Dr. After last payment I finally owned my baby.
The insurance company says: "im not paying that" so the medical company just reduces the price. It happens almost always
The hospital does not reduce the price. They bill the full amount they can. Then the insurance company reduces it to their maximum allowable based on the contractual rates, and pays that amount. The hospital then writes off the rest.

Alot of people claiming the health care system is bad are lying and making things up. But at the same time California is expensive so idk if she's actually being honest this time. Just don't go to California. Also if your poor you get free insurance anyway. The only time you have a high co-payment for insurance is because you make enough money to pay it.

I didn’t have any kind of insurance as I am a foreigner in China. Had to pay $700 in total which included absolutely everything except food but there was a 7/11 and healthy fresh food options which were incredibly cheap too.

In Ireland, any form of pregnancy, birth and after care is completely free of charge. If you are on social welfare, you can even apply for an affordable house to live in, where some of the rent is paid by the welfare. They get money paid directly into our bank accounts monthly per child we have until they are 18, it's called Child Benefit I have never been more grateful to be an Irish citizen, America is wild 😭
and yet your average brainless American sheeple would believe that what you just described is communism, a satanic evil to be avoided at all costs
Similar to Australia, and I’m so grateful too
You don’t get no house for free if your on social welfare you have to pay weekly might not be much but definitely isn’t free… and good luck getting that house I’m on the housing list over 10 years with a young child
@@carolenash5458 you see how screwed up your country's priorities are?

Me: “oh! Should only be around 2-4K”
California: “Millions, Billions, Hundreds, Thousands”
In first world countries it's free, or very cheap, like $100.
yea 36k$ is alot it's only around 500- 700$ for us with insurance probably only 70-90 $
A hundred billion trillion billion million trillion dollars
2 to 4k is a bit much.
@@moonstryder1740 yes it seems like a lot of money, but in the US, 13,000$ is around the amount to give birth and stay estimated times in the hospital so really, it’s not
That is literally some people's salaries
I get just over $6000 a year on disability. I guess it would be free for me maybe because I have Medicaid? Regardless, I am damn glad I’m infertile and never wanted to kids to begin with.
Salary???? You mean networth here in Nigeria.
😂 salary? I made less then this on min wage. Thank heavens for the health insurance program in Canada. No one would have kids. Not that I have kids but dang. I knew it was gonna be a lot but not $36K for 24 hours in the hospital with a natural delivery. Curious how much it cost the system in Ontario 🇨🇦. A regular day in an Ont hospital (eg. Medicine unit) is $1400/day plus treatments and tests cost.
Yearly salary in a first world nation provided the have a decent job.

"We made sure I was in labour" Is the most American thing you can hear

Yeeeees
American healthcare care prices are just insane. How can they justify this
Take a look at the claims the hospital has paid to settle claims against their obstetricians. Are you aware that few doctors go into obstetrics now because of extreme risk of getting sued?
Because the insurance company pays it. If we got the government involved it would only get worse. The hospital charges $20 for a bandaid because they know we’re not paying for it out of pocket, the insurance company pays it. If it was govt run healthcare they would charge $50 for a bandaid.
I have seen companies sell a $2 bolt to the military for $100. It happens all of the time
@@lesterparker1594how about govermnment regulating with the real cost of it? No matter its insured or from your pocket. So finally Insurance, the prices should go down. If the insurance is paying that much, it means the insurance is not cheap either.
@@digitallxd I don’t trust the government to run anything and be fiscally responsible. Because of government guaranteed student loans, the cost of college has skyrocketed. Nothing the government touches run smoothly. I’m not sure what the solution is, but I know what it isn’t. And getting the government involved isn’t the solution.
Fun fact: they usually can’t. You should always, always, always ask for an itemized receipt. The price almost always gets reduced because it’s a PR nightmare for them if they admit to charging $2 per cotton swab or $200 to let you hold your baby after giving birth to it.
So, how do they justify it? By making it really opaque and difficult for anybody to ever ask them.
“Let me show you the experience first”. I was expecting something else

Here in 🇬🇧……it’s free. Thank God for the NHS. Everyone should be entitled to healthcare. Even if our NHS is going down the pan. Hopefully a change in leadership can stop that happening to a point of no return.
When I was a kid, I had a rare bone marrow infection. Did surgery and had some nasty treatments, as well as 2 week of hospital & constant therapy.
This cost my parents 14 euros in parking.
Damn I'm jealous
Which country do you live?
@@onur2552 Belgium! According to Health of Nations by World Markets Research, it has the best healthcare in the world.
But it also has expensive parking!
It would still cost a lot of money, difference being that taxpayers pay for it
@@kadafi4lyf No. The difference is that in the US, due to privatisation of health care, a majority of your medical bill is inflated as a result of the current market rates of private health-care companies, who can ask as much as they want. Here, the bill is reduced to neccessities to pay the staff, medicines and hospital infrastructure. No private contractor is involved in that transaction, making healthcare actually kind of cheap for the belgian governement.
‘I had a tear’
(Aw)
‘Which they stitched’

This 😂
So accurate😂
🥲😢😭
This is the point where your husband throws them a couple of Benjamins to pop in an extra stitch or two. 20 minute childbirth is good for you, for him not so much
@@Ghhyuttgg lol! Seriously! I had a 2 nd degree tear with my first and they stitch me up very tight!! It was uncomfortable. My second I had barely a 1st degree tear - no stitches required
*Child being disrespectful*
Mother: "Do YoU EvEn KnOw HoW MuCh YOu H aVe CosT ME?!"

I would have needed to see an itemized list of what I was charged because that was ridiculous!
I personally think it’s completely inhumane that America does this. It should be a human right to deliver safely and comfortably, not a business. Glad to know you and your family are good though. Congratulations!
Need an experienced medicalist at home nowadays, smh
Business first, that's the biggest problem with this country. Everything is about money for a few and not caring about the welfare of the whole population.
Most American Policies are inhumane 💯👀
@Steve-yx7zc USA created its own medical industry and government. Our doctors offices, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, health insurance system and everything else in between have been about profit for at least a 100 years. Money over peoples health. Same with the food industry, education... It's all about a smaller amount of people getting richer than they ever need to be over the well-being of their customers.
I don't understand how this could not be the fault of the USA nothing outside of here molded this culture. The industries did it and our government allowed it. They encourage it because big companies pay millions towards their campaigns and expect them to do their bidding in return.
@Steve-yx7zcoh look, critical thinking. Comments haven't seen *that* in a while

Had to pay for parking and snacks here in the UK but she’s worth it I guess.
@@lake6201 I know right!- I mean I’m on epic painkiller patches and a months supply costs me like $15? God only KNOWS how much it would be in the US!?😱
Health care is sooooo expensive here in USA
Don't forget to ask for an itemized bill, sometimes they charge you for things you never used, sometimes they double charge.
Yeah she probably could have paid $0 at the end if she asked for this
My husband and I are over 65 and visit the USA every year from the UK. I get exceptionally anxious about these holidays because I fear us becoming unwell whilst there, even though we take out insurance. It costs nothing to have a baby in the UK, it costs nothing if you need emergency care, it costs nothing to visit your General practitioner. We are so lucky here.
In Canada it cost me $15 for first child and $30 for second. The second child I had to pay for two days of parking.
Wait what? You can get a cheap t-shirt or a baby?
Canadians should be breeding.
I'd be breeding like crazy if I was in Canada.
One baby a year.
Uhm… 😳 one baby a year!?
@@Subuzgreatest You don't have to pay for the medical, but the food, clothes and housing aren't cheap.
@@Subuzgreatest lol I was just going to say maybe that's why it's so expensive in America. Population control. But honestly I'm sure Canadians pay for it some way. Taxes is one way for many countries so it's never free.
It is free in Poland. Then you get $100 per month until the kid is 18 years old.

You’d hate to see the bill I got with my oldest son (born in 2010). I ended up with a C-section, and WITH insurance, I had to pay my out-of-pocket-max, which, for the policy I had at the time, was $15,000 USD. That was just for the hospital. I then had to pay countless copays for each doctor who even so much as glanced in my direction.

$36000 is almost a million in my country and it cost less than $1000+- to have a normal birth at a private hospital here and the most it cost for super rich people here is $6000+- to have a baby at a very very private hospital.
In India, my cousin had a baby and stayed at hospital for 5 days. Everything cost 375 dollars and that was a private hospital. In a public hospital it’d be free.
The only problem? The baby has Indian citizenship
Cousin probably got hep-C too due to unhygienic conditions of Indian hospitals
@@katme7119that’s not a problem, we have a daughter and India is one of most safest advanced nations to raise a girl.

$100,000 billed to insurance for a broken leg. It’s out of control.
Hospital billing in the US is so broken. The top number is almost meaningless. The hospital intentionally starts outrageously high in an effort to maximize the payout from the middleman, the insurance company.
36k in the first 20 minutes. Now add 18+ years, school, diploma, etc. Kids, you better love your parents!
No worries, I hate mine
Every kid deserves a parent but not every parent deserves a kid.
My parents didn't pay anything because I'm in Canada, but I didn't ask to be born. I didn't ask for two people to have sex and make a baby. I'm not going to be grateful for someone bringing me into this hellhole and forcing me to live. Am I thankful to have a mom that cares about me? Absolutely. But you wanted the kid, you pay for them. That is how it works. None of that emotional burden should be put on a child that didn't want to be here.
Well. The kid didn't ask for either coming to this world or for all the bills. It's the choice of the parents. Don't blackmail the babies.
Yeah bc we asked tô be born lol

This is pretty typical, most hospitals have a cafe and they all give mothers a private room.
I work in a hospital and maternity is the one floor where they are all private rooms
