I moved to Colombia and had my 3 kids there. The births were so cheap that I still can't believe the total cost.

When my first child was born in Medellín, Colombia, I had an emergency C-section after a long labor. My doula supported me at home, then accompanied us to the hospital, where I paid a small copay of 53,000 Colombian pesos, about $14. On discharge day, my husband was sent to the finance desk to settle the bill. Nervous about what we might owe, we learned that almost everything had been covered.

Living in Dublin was a dream come true, but the reality was challenging with high living costs and feelings of disconnection.
