I was livid when my son was born 10 minutes before midnight. We had to pay for him for the whole day...$20.00.

What made it worse...they had induced labor. I should have sued.

My son was born in the Labor Room and not the Delivery Room remember them? The doctor told my mother (they didn’t let husbands in then) that the only OB nurse was busy and she’d have to assist and we didn’t have time to get to the delivery room. I asked immediately if that meant that I didn’t have to pay for it. My son cost me $383 for the hospital and $104 for the doctor and that was 1973 and I had the money saved.

My husband made $112 a week and I saved 2 paychecks every month.
