Ariela Weinberg recently gave birth to her baby on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way. Now, TLC fans are curious to know how much the delivery actually cost in the baby’s father, Biniyam Shibre’s, home country of Ethiopia.
The couple just welcomed their first child together on the show and fans were happy the delivery went smoothly. Even though it initially looked like Ariela was having a panic attack, the new mother successfully got through her C-section. While neither Ariela nor Biniyam was excited about the C-section, the surgery was necessary because of unforeseen complications. While the couple preferred a natural birth, the C-section produced a happy, healthy baby boy.
After watching the birthing episode, many fans wondered how much the hospital and birth actually cost the couple. It can cost thousands of dollars to give birth in America once the hospital fees are added up, so TLC fans wondered if the Ethiopian birth was significantly less expensive compared to what Ariela might have paid in America. According to PubMed, the average cost to have a baby in Ethiopia by natural means is $7.70 USD. A mother like Ariela, who takes the route of a cesarean section, will pay about $51.80 USD. The numbers are drastically different than the US, where the average cost to have a baby is around $30,000.
Although Ethiopia is a third-world country, the medical services seem to be up to a high standard while still costing parents much less than a birth in the US. If a woman decides to give birth in Ethiopia, they will not have all the frills of a first-world hospital. Most women must share a birthing and recovery room. They are also told to walk around quite a bit during labor. In the past ten years, the country has made major strides in maternal care, which include more facilities and ambulances that can provide transportation to the hospitals. Even though 80% of the population lives in rural areas and many women cho0se to deliver at home, hospitals are trying to make it easier for expectant mothers to receive care.
Ariela’s mother, who was a nurse, was given a tour of the hospital where her daughter was going to give birth and found that the facility had the same medicine as her hospital back home. Some of the equipment may have looked a little worn, but she felt comfortable giving her daughter her blessing to stay and give birth. With decent services and such a low cost, it seems as though Ariela may have made the right choice in giving birth in Ethiopia.
