An American-based African lady has provided an overview of the overall expenses associated with giving birth in the United States.
The TikToker with the handle @rytamay shared a rundown of the bills she got after having her twins in October 2022.
Ranging from her hospital care which costs $9,629 to her C section which costs $18,000 amongst other bills, the total arrived at $46,199.
