inlaws overseas

My in laws are overseas in morocco.  They have not met me yet except over Skype.  My husband is trying to.decide if we go there when I'm 7 months pregnant or if they come here after the baby is born.  with each situation.  The water in morocco makes me sick.  I don't know the language and if something happened would be difficult to find the right Dr.  If his parents came here... they are elderly. Moroccan Hospitality is very much expected  and with a newborn may poise challeneges.  My husband and I need time to bond with our baby and learn our own parenting styles. Breast feeding could be difficult with others around. What do you all think we should do?

I wouldn't chance something of such nature, I personally feel as if your better off delivering in a place your familiar with especially since your not native to that country. I say..wait!! It's sounds like a better idea if they were able to visit you instead. I am positive you don't want to travel in your pregnancy (too risky) plus most airline industry companies will deny a pregnant woman to fly especially after 32 weeks, some even before then. And you most certainly wouldn't want to risk a serious virus, or other great diseases with traveling to other countries with a newborn!!!

Can you go over there once the baby is a bit older?

I don't think they advise flying after 28 weeks. I wouldn't chance it.
