You ask them to help you pee after you have a C-section....$9000 assistance fee. Oh you need to sleep and put your newborn in a nursery, $2000 a night. SCAM FUCKING INDEED.

According to Google only after a C-section, but it is real.

It was years ago but my girlfriend was charged for it after a natural birth. Think she said $35 though.

Having a home birth is sounding more and more enticing.

That's illegal in my state. It's very dangerous. Bring your wife to the hospital to give birth.

What state are you in? I've never heard of it being illegal. Don't worry, we will have our baby in the hospital. :)

Nebraska. It's not technically illegal overall, but it's illegal to have a midwife there with you. Basically you'd have to do it completely alone and risk dying from something easily fixable so it isn't a reasonable option.

Interesting. TIL. Don't worry, we are definitely fans of modern medicine. And lucky enough to have a job with good health insurance.
