A Hospital Charged a Couple $40 to Hold Their Baby After He Was Born

A couple in Utah had a baby a few weeks ago, and the guy just posted a copy of their hospital bill on Reddit. It showed a $39.35 charge for, "skin to skin after C-sec."

So pretty much, the couple was charged 40 bucks to hold their son after he was born!

Do YOU that's a reasonable charge? I surely do not. Having a child is already expensive enough, why add to it?

A labor and delivery nurse posted a response to explain it:  When a baby is born with a c-section in the operating room and the parents hold them right away, an extra nurse has to stay and monitor the baby to make sure they're okay.

And while that may be true, I personally think it's ridiculous.
