Her female accomplice was sentenced to three months in jail for aiding and abetting in disposing of and hiding the baby's body.
The male defendant, 38, who dumped the body in the garbage, was also sentenced to three months in jail.
The two women received a one month extra imprisonment for overstaying their visas.
All the three defendants were found guilty of failing to report a crime to the competent authorities.

She got the help of two women in giving birth in her room in Al Satwa. Her accomplices helped her get rid of the baby, who was born dead, as they claimed, by throwing it in the rubbish."
The other woman admitted to the police she cleaned the body and then gave it to the man to dispose of it.
The man confessed to the police he got the body from the second woman who had cleaned it and put it in a bag with clothes. He drove it on his delivery bike to Deira where he threw it in a large bin.
