A mum who has been stuck in Greece after unexpectedly going into labour may not be able to bring her new baby home for at least another six months. Thurza Blagg was rushed to hospital in Rhodes on May 12 after her waters suddenly broke despite only being 28-weeks pregnant.
The 32-year-old, who was given medication to delay labour, claimed delays by her insurance company AXA meant the opportunity to fly her home - which they deny. Thurza told how she was left feeling unsafe due to the language barrier and “no clear birth plan” after being transferred to Alexandra Hospital in Athens.
She gave birth to her son, who weighed a little over one kilogram, on May 2 with medics telling her that he remains in a “critical but stable” condition. The new mum said: “I was told he'll be in the incubator for a minimum of three months, and it will be a lot longer before he is fit to fly.
