This Woman Asked How To Split The Hospital Bill For Her Baby's Birth, And The Internet Is NOT Having It


“Wow, so much sass in this comment section! You are one month postpartum — please don’t feel bad about asking how to approach this. Everyone here should know that you’re in a delicate stage right now, sending you love and healing.”

“Some partners might not know how to or even consider approaching this. My partner and I typically don’t discuss who will take care of what. We just handle things. Sometimes together, sometimes individually, but all bills get paid on time. I enjoy that we don’t have many discussions surrounding finances. I am an autopay type; he is not. We approach bills differently and have yet to discuss medical bills. It’s not like Dad sees the bills; they are solely coming to Mom, and we are constantly reminded.

I am waiting until after birth to get itemized bills. I’ll try to get some knocked off and then approach him with what is owed. I’m not sure what I expect him to help with yet, as he pays most of our rent and will probably take care of all bills for a portion of my leave. I know he will help with my medical bills if I ask, but I’m also not sure how I will go about this yet.”
