We complain about the NHS here in the UK but once we actually get into the hospital we rarely give the cost a second thought. Goodness I’m startled by your bill.

By the way, I had no clue it costs that much to have a baby; especially without any complications. Thank goodness for insurance.

It's amazing how that all broke down though, I'm glad (and a bit surprised) that they actually sent you an itemized bill so you could see! <em>Erin's last blog post..</em><a href='http://erinkelley.net/journal/2009/02/11/2-months/' rel="nofollow">2 Months</a> I wanted to leave the hospital as soon as I could, I just couldn’t rest well there (not that I got much more rest at home with a newborn, heh).

I've got enough to last for a few more babies! That $19 tube really is sample size. I was given the option to leave a day early, too. I didn't because it was getting pretty late in the day, and it wouldn't affect my end of the money anyway. If my insurance gave me a little incentive to leave early, I would have considered it.

I got one of those and thought it was free! We give it out as samples in the boutique downstairs from mom-baby in the hospital where I work. And a near-toothpaste size tube of Medela lanolin is like $10--which is silly. I wish they'd make the tubes half that size and sell them for $5. Very few women need that much lanonin. Gosh, it probably saved us hundreds of dollars that I asked to go home a day earlier than I had to. (I wanted to anyway.) Our insurance didn't cover nearly as much as yours did.
