Pregnancy advise...

I was hoping someone might be able to give me some advise?

My girlfriend and I have recently arrived in Spain and will be spending the next 3 months with my uncle, returning to the UK on Friday 12th September 2008.

We have just found out however, that my girlfriend is pregnant and I am a bit worried now as to how to progress. I have thought about returning to the UK early, as I want to be sure we can obtain the best prenatal health care possible.

What would you recommend and should we expect to pay for any scans, tests etc. over here?

My personal experience of how PRIVATE HEALTH here managed my wife's pregnancy was not at all positive. They failed to notice a rather important issue - this was by the way a VERY respected and visible clinic - one that "celebrities" use. PUBLIC HEALTH for important stuff, here - ALWAYS.

My personal feeling following the tragedy is that constant control by the same doctor (one you trust and can converse with) from start to finish. If I were in your shoes, having been through what we have - I'd think seriously about getting back to where you'll have the baby.

Not to do with quality of care . but the constancy of care.
