Viewers were asked why she had not given such an extravagant gift. The New Yorker explained in a follow-up video that she forgot the goodie bag because “this kind of stuff doesn’t matter to me”.
She also pointed out that it was not possible for her to get it as she was in an upscale private hospital. It is accessible to everyone.
While giving birth at New York-Presbyterian Hospital costs around $37,000 according to Turquoise Health – almost double the average price in America – Sophia said she used her health insurance to cover the costs of pregnancy, delivery and postpartum care.
“I’m just someone who used my insurance to give birth. She tells viewers that it wasn’t like a private bedroom thing.
Sophia, now five years old, commented on the mystery surrounding whereabouts her first goodie bags, which she got when giving birth to her daughter. She said that she gave it to the supervisor at her old apartment so that he could give the bag to his wife.
The original video of the mom-of-2 quickly became viral and many women expressed envy.

Other moms shared their stories of receiving small gifts from their hospitals, but nothing grand.
Missouri’s @astuckey13 creator was able to keep her watercup with ‘a handle’ and ‘crinkly straw’ while @Zenobia3369 received a thermometer.
Sophia, who is a nurse and had been a TikToker, explained that she was going to gift the contents to another TikToker in response to her funny comment. But she said she would keep the bag as a memento, and store any trinkets related to her children’s upcoming births.
Many viewers applauded her kindness and sweetness.
All women giving birth at the facility receive a bag of Chanel beauty products as part of a 2004 partnership.
After discovering this perk via Sophia’s video, TikToker @mdoll said: ‘Guess I’m having a baby in New York.’
