Pregnant woman who went to Crete trapped for eight weeks after baby came early

A pregnant woman who jetted off on a 'babymoon' before the birth of her first child was left trapped in Greece - after her daughter made a surprise early arrival. Robyn Bishop, 29, flew to Crete with partner Stephen Howe, 32, for a luxurious stay at a five-star adults only resort in April 2022.

The mum-to-be was 29 weeks pregnant at the time, and had been signed off as fit to fly by her doctor. But, just two days after landing in Greece, Robyn's waters broke and the shocked new mum welcomed baby Flora six weeks early.

The family were then left trapped - due to the baby being declared too premature to fly by their insurance company. The trio finally landed back in the UK on last week via a medical repatriation flight and are now looking forward to starting life as a family properly.
