Even if it turned out to be OK in the end, no pregnant woman wants to see that amount of blood EVER, let alone cope with a shitty hospital in a foreign country (even if you did speak the language). This is literally what I have nightmares about, so I can only say that I am massively relieved to hear you're all doing OK now. Hopefully the experience doesn't totally tarnish your good memories of this place in Mexico and, one day, you can bring the little guy back there under less stressful circumstances.

This is one of the most horrific experiences I've ever heard of, and I'm so, so sorry that you had to go through that. That you're still going through this. This would be frightening enough in your own home at your own hospital, but to endure this under the circumstances you did is just too much. I am sending so much love and healthy, healing thoughts to you and baby for a safe return, a safe pregnancy, and a safe delivery.

I'm sure that only added anxiety to an already incredibly difficult situation. Thank God you speak Spanish, can you imagine how much harder things would have been if you didn't? Also, how wonderful to have the midwives on your side, supporting you even while you are abroad. What a good decision you made to choose their care.<br /><br />I am so happy to hear your boy is safe. I think I was holding my breath the entire time I read your story and I am so glad it has a happy ending, (although you have to cut your trip short the important thing is that everyone is okay). I hope the rest of this pregnancy is uneventful.
