Lisa Dollan, 39, lives in Menston, Leeds, with her son and husband, after moving to the UK from Atlanta, Georgia. In a recent video, she explored the staggering amount it can cost to have a baby in the US, leaving people shocked. According to the American Journal of Managed Care, the cost of giving birth in the United States varies drastically from state to state. (Image: TikTok)Research shows that the average cost of giving birth for a person with health insurance through their employer is $13,811 (£9,900) but this can vary depending on if there were any complications. "With insurance, the bill is [probably covered] 80-20,” meaning that the insurance company covers 80 per cent of the costs, and the rest is up to the woman giving birth and family.
