to go. You have read everyones thoughts. Perhaps you need to think about the following "what if"'s and consider any consequences:
If you look back you will read that there have been many people getting sick in Bali due to the effluent contamination and one group had 9 out of the 14 get sick. That is a little over 50% or one in two.
I cannot begin to imagine the detrimental effect of constant vomiting, diarrhoea, possible dehydration on the un born child. I hope not any brain damage.
What effect Dengue fever has on an unborn child ?
Would rabies do any damage?
In your daughters own words - "however I need clearance to fly after that (home)" who will give this to her. If not how will yr D get on the plane and if she cant get on a plane and yr D has no insurance does she stay there alone until the baby is born. Who pays for this and the flight home ?
Its a long slow bumpy ride in a car to Ubud, what if the baby comes early and is born in a paddock on the side of the road?
What if the plane is full and the baby comes on the plane 35,000 feet in the middle of nowhere born in the toilet and touch wood there are complications and no doctor on Board. ? But wait Mum is there she can take care of it all.
The list of what ifs goes on.
Your daughter seems very determined to go and it seems to me that it is "all about me" me me me me !!!!! what "I want" to do and very little consideration for anyone else, including the unborn child.
I hope her two weeks of selfish pleasure doesnt end up in a life time of misery.
Hope you all have a great time and it all works out.
