[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cant even believe some of the responses. Do you know how many babies are in India and survive just fine? And even Belize! Esp. those of the wealthy with access to fabulous medical care? [/quote]

Google India and infant mortality. 50 per 1000 births. That's 5 out of 100 die every year. Of course that doesn't count babies lost "before birth" aka stillborn. For comparison that is 10 times as many babies as in the US.[/quote]

Umm...the infant mortality rate in India isn't due to a baby drinking contaminated water.  Bringing this up as a concern is like comparing apples and elephants.

OP--I agree--ask your doctor.  I know many people who were born in India--their mothers went back home to give birth to them vs do so here in the U.S. without help.  They all managed to survive. I have been on many transatlantic flights with Indian women and their children who are taking them home for a long visit to family, so clearly you arent the only person in the world who would do this.
