A woman who has been stuck in Greece since going into premature labour may not be able to bring her baby home for at least six months after giving birth. Thurza Blagg, from Sherwood was rushed to hospital in Rhodes on May 12 when her waters broke while on holiday.
She was subsequently transferred to Alexandra hospital in Athens, where she felt unsafe due to the language barrier and "no clear birth plan". On Monday, May 2, Ms Blagg gave birth to her son, who weighed a little over one kilogram.
Ms Blagg has only seen her son, who she is yet to name, a handful of times as he is in a "critical but stable condition" in hospital. She said: "When I see him I can't see his eyes because he's wrapped up, you can't touch him. "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," she said. "I'm not leaving this country until I can take my baby home."
