the posts in the wrong context
I think many of us are just expressing concern should something go wrong. I raised the money issue re being treated in a hospital from first hand experience. I think having "some understanding of the country,culture and resources have nothing to do with the fact that something could go terribly wrong at 32 weeks.
I also don't think fear of the world has anything to do with a decision about possible early childbirth and complications overseas. I also based my advice on the fact that 2 of my girls delivered 10 & 8 weeks early.
The first 10 week early bub was the 2nd child - the first being fulltime and "normal' pregnancy. This child would not havbe survived had it not been for the specialist care and equiptment available at the John Hunter Hospital. Her mother also had complications after the caesar. The second bub who was 8 weeks early was a first baby but again developed complications and again the very experienced NICU team are the reason we got through that 4 weeks of worry.
In your research have you accertained where any and if any neonatal equiptment is located?
Sue we all wish your daughter well and most of us gave genuine opinions as you did ask us what we thought
