| 0:21.8 | dot UK slash podcast to learn more. I want to share with you guys a video that I shared on |
| 0:31.0 | X and on TikTok last week that went viral. Actually, I think on X right now it has over 12 million |
| 0:37.4 | views. It was a video I made |
| 0:39.8 | talking about hospital price transparency. Maybe rather than explaining it, I'll just play the |
| 0:45.6 | clip here. I gave birth to this perfect precious little angel in September of last year. |
| 0:49.5 | It is April, nearly May of the next year, and I am getting bills in the mail nearly every single week. |
| 0:55.0 | Let's look at them. Okay, this one is a bill for $2,000. The service description literally just says |
| 1:01.8 | vaginal birth. Here's another bill for $1,261. What's the description for? Actually, it doesn't even say. Here's another one for $336. The service |
| 1:14.7 | description is subsequent hospital care. What does that mean? Here's another $675 charge for |

| 2:08.6 | Like every stage is better than the last. Oh my gosh. The stage she's at now, it's chaotic. It's |
| 2:14.7 | busy. Like she is so busy. She wants to pull everything. She wants to rip my hair, rip the necklaces, all the stuff on the planes. I made that video, a podcast, talking about like advice for first time moms or moms in general with a newborn on a plane. I thought I had it figured out. Let me tell you, she is a lot busier now. All you experienced moms, you could have told me this, all you seasoned moms. |
