wife wants to have baby in poland not ireland [52]
I think WHERE in Poland you have your baby makes a difference. I am American and had both of my children here, but we live in Lomza. it was great, they were fantastic to me and I was treated very well.
It is your wife who is having the baby, not you. In the end she should get the say. I would imagine that she would want to end up close to her family after the baby is born, let her.
As for the language issue in the hospital. Does she have English speaking family members? Like a cousin who could be there to translate in case something goes wrong?
Unlike the above post by jam13, my husband was allowed in the operating room during my emergency c-section, so again it really depends on where you are.
Also she cans till fly until her last month, she would be smart to be in Poland for all of her last appointments anyways.
I have neighbors who are form Belarus. When she was a month from having her baby she went back home and did not come back until the baby was about two months old. Here husband traveled back and forth during that time and they are all healthy, happy and she has told me that it meant the world to her to be able to go back home to have her baby where she was comfortable. Here husband was understanding, they communicated about it and realized that her being calm and comfortable was more important than them being together all the time.
