[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes I would, the medical care you would get in Europe, if necessary, would be as god as you would get here.  [/quote]

I don't want to argue with you but have you ever been in a hospital in a foreign country because of a medical emergency?  I have.  I don't recommend it and I got the best quality of care possible.  It is upsetting enough to be having a medical emergency but then to complicate it with potential language barriers, cultural barriers, procedural barriers, etc., it is too much.

In my case I didn't have a choice because I was in an accident caused by a drunk driver.  There is no way that I would purposefully choose to put myself into a potential emergency situation in a foreign country when I was 33 or 34 weeks pregnant.[/quote]

Or, not being allowed to fly home because of complications and having to stay to give birth.
Or, worse, premature birth requiring weeks of hospitalization for new baby.  And, additional weeks of staying and paying to stay in a foreign country.[/quote]

That's a fair point. Every once in a while you will hear a story about someone giving birth early overseas and drama and cost with having to stay before you can fly back with baby can be staggering.[/quote]
