Saudi Maternity: Good Business, Bad Medicine?

Christopher’s wife’s pregnancy and delivery in the UAE was the best birthing experience the couple ever had. Though they have been through it all before with two other children, there was always that sense of impending catastrophe that never seems to fade despite years and experience. On the day of the delivery they were ushered to a room where he was able to observe the workings of the midwife and other hospital staff as they prepared and monitored her vitals. He was able to hold her hand when their daughter was born. He even cut the umbilical cord. Except for the cashier, there was no male involvement. It was even a Christian hospital.

Although Chris and his wife felt the UAE government had somewhat of a hedonistic take on Islamic culture (or maybe it was the Emirati take on Islamic culture)—just the same, he remembered thinking how being in a Muslim country was so wonderful after living under the dirty looks; apparent disrespect and suspicion of being Muslim in the post 911 US.

This is why when they moved to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, outside the little bumps in the road that happens in all pregnancies; Chris had no reservations about ‘D’ Day. Riyadh had a reputation of being religiously conservative and despite its third world demeanor, visibly more cosmopolitan than most places in the Emirates. He was working at a University and began to ask his co-workers about the best place to get prenatal and delivery services. He was taken aback when he got an odd response from one Muslim colleague that he not only thought was less than helpful, it seemed offensive at the time because he was married to a Saudi.

“Go back to the US,” Ahmed said grimly. A South African Muslim of Dutch descent, he was tall; lanky and generally jovial on most days. He seemed depressed, a mood he was familiar with due to the trials of teaching Saudi youth.

“Go back to the US?” Chris said repeating his advice to another co-worker later.

“How could I do that? The expense involved alone would be obscene—never mind the logistics. Besides having to quit my job, my wife and I were both orphans and we had six other children to take back with us,” He whined; which he often does when worried.

“Don’t worry about it. He was probably having a bad day,” his friend said.

He finally decided on a place near the university after trying various private hospitals near his home in Eshbilliah, off the Ring Road in Riyadh.
