Medical Expenses for Tax Return

I was on maternity leave for 4 months last year, I only joined a medical aid in August and baby was only covered from October. My whole pregnancy was paid for cash ( +- R60 000 ) I have calculated my return and it is not what I was hoping for. How does medical expenses paid cash work out?
