Giving Birth in Armenia vs. the U.S.: A Comparison

Not very many women can say they have given birth in the United States and in Armenia. I delivered our first baby at a hospital in Northern Virginia. With full health insurance coverage and the best care available, delivery was thankfully seamless. I also had the added benefit of a father and brother who both practiced as obstetricians/gynecologists in the area, so finding the best providers was easy. Photo: Nevit Dilmen[/capt

  1. haha! no, so sad. Guess what? if you had given every nurse $5 or $10 a day they would become an angels! Yaappp……..so sad!

  2. Looks more like a cultural than a medical care difference.
    It is well known though, that people in the U.S.A. get over-drugged, not always with desirable results.
    It also appears, that in Yerevan newborns are kept in high regard and are being well looked after and cared for. That’s much more than one could say of many other places in the world ….
