Ariela Weinberg and Biniyam Shibre from 90 Day Fiancé learned that their son, Aviel Shibre, needs hernia surgery as soon as possible. The couple has already been struggling with relationship issues, and now they have to deal with this new parenting obstacle. Ariela and Biniyam first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 2 and welcomed their son earlier than expected by C-section. Despite the cultural differences, language barrier and different parenting styles, Ariela and Biniyam got engaged towards the end of the season.

When the new season began, many 90 Day Fiancé viewers thought that the couple would be planning to get married. However, Ariela and Biniyam were still questioning their relationship. Things took a drastic turn when New Jersey native Ariela invited her ex-husband, Leandro, to Ethiopia. While Ariela maintained that her ex is just her best friend, many 90 Day Fiancé fans were convinced that she still has romantic feelings for him. But Ariela told Leandro that she loves Biniyam and wants to build her family in Ethiopia. Now Ariela and Biniyam's relationship seems to be getting back on track.

The new parents are now faced with another problem, though. People reported on a promo for the next episode of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way that shows Ariela and Biniyam taking their 9-month-old son to the pediatrician. While talking to the TLC cameras, Ariela revealed that she noticed a bulge in her son's groin area that becomes visible whenever he cries or gets angry. She added, "As a new mom, anytime we bring Avi to the doctor, I'm always worried that they're going to give us some bad news." 90 Day Fiancé star Ariela hoped that the doctor would reassure her that her baby was fine and she was overreacting. After examining Aviel, Dr. Nebiyat Tesfaye said, "I think that he has a hernia, so what he needs is a surgical intervention, which he will need as soon as possible."

The new parents got concerned, and Ariela asked the doctor if he was sure because she thought that the surgery sounded "very extreme." Dr. Tesfaye reassured her by replying, "It's shocking, but it's common in pediatrics age, and lots of babies go through this surgery." New mom Ariela got nervous and asked the doctor whether they could delay the surgery because her son was too young to have anesthesia. But the doctor explained the hernia is related to Aviel's intestines, and he suggested that the surgery should be done as soon as possible.

Some 90 Day Fiancé viewers have accused Ariela of barely acknowledging her son on the show, but there is no doubt that she is a very protective mother. While Biniyam looked calm and composed throughout the scene, Ariela was worried and nervous. She now has the pressure to make the right decision for her son. Fans will have to see how this 90 Day Fiancé couple, who is already dealing with communication issues, decides together what is best for their son.
