Wendy Fitzwilliam
Wendy is Pregnant
What do you think about the the public announcement Wendy Fitzwilliam, former Miss Universe, made at a Girls School Convent that she was pregnant and did not intend to get married? Do you think she is now being unjustly criticized by the Catholic Church and Ministry of Education?

I think she was a bit ahead of herself. She obviously did not evaluate where she was, who she was speaking to and what impact her words would have. I am not against her saying what she wants, but when you are invited as a role-model to speak to young impressionable girls under the banner of a religious organization then you do not go mentioning personal stuff, which in my mind is really unnecessary, about you being pregnant, not wanting marriage, etc. What are you really trying to say?

I do not know the context in which she shared such information. I thought it was a bit unwise to share such news with "the world" when she probably did not pass the first trimester as yet and risks are at hand. I do not know what it prompted her to share such news and add that she does not plan to get married. I think she just got caught in the excitement.

I am very disappointed with Wendy for this incident. I understand from a friend, that a local reporter, was on the verge of exposing Wendy's pregnancy. So maybe she just wanted to share the news with everyone, before they read it in the newspapers. I believe that she is an intelligent lady who should know that, there is a time and place for everything. The mere fact that she is expecting is wonderful but to divulge this information before young Catholic school girls is unacceptable. I was also stunned that she even elaborated about not having any intentions of getting married! This was not the appropriate forum for her to disclose such personal details. Young girls are very sexually promiscuous these days and by sharing this information, will only give them confirmation that it is okay to have unprotected sex! What about the negative consequences to having unprotected sex, like contracting sexually transmitted diseases?
I think the Catholic Church and the Ministry of Education were justified in criticizing her poor judgement. She is a well educated woman who should have known better!

There is an interview in the Express with Wendy and her baby boy. She decided to have the baby in the US (funny isn't?). She really liked how professional everything went in the hospital and she made a couple of comments about the kind of service she got during labor and delivery. If hospitals in Trinidad could even be 1% of this!

| BC: You have to time the shot carefully? WENDY: Oh yeah. Clearly, I have no clue but this hospital is amazing! God bless America! [smile] They make you do a tour when you're around six months, with your spouse or significant other, whomever is going to be with you at the time of delivery. BC: And you went with? WENDY: Ailan's dad, of course. They walk you through the whole process. They made us pretend I was in labour, where David or his driver has to drop me off, park the car. I sit down, whomever is with you does the signing up. Then they show you the delivery room, which is very different to the recovery room. The delivery room was fabulous - you could come with your favourite CDs or DVDs, dad can go get lunch if he needs it, the whole nine, do you want an epidural, at what point they administer it. It was very smooth. BC: You didn't have a long period of discomfort? WENDY: No! They gave me the epidural shortly thereafter. I'd not had any of those false contractions before so they said, okay, this is real labour. Around noon they told me, I'm ready, so they had to turn the epidural off. That whole epidural thing does help but you have to be aware when you go into labour. So I said, '"Let's rumble!" and, around 1 o'clock they were like, "Let's do it" and I was like, "Okay, Ailan, you ready?" And, by 3.25pm, two hours 25 minutes later, literally". |

There ARE places like that in Trinidad, you just have to pay for them. I can assure that that does not take place at ALL of the hospitals in the States either. Everywhere in the world, even here, there are no limits to what can be offered if people are willing to pay.
What I found funny (peculiar) is how people (not only Trinidadians) run off to the States to have their US babies, but can always come up with an excuse why.
Be honest, you want better for your offspring in the future and believe that you will get it there. Stop the dumb excuses.

I believe that Wendy chose to have her baby in abroad for privacy and peace of mind. If you think about it, who could blame her? If I were pregnant, I would prefer to have my baby in United States instead of here because the health care in Trinidad is in a perpetual crisis.
| Rather off topic, but... A friend of mine who is a doctor, mentioned that a hospital (I cannot disclose the name) which was recently opened, did not have surgical gloves and the necessary chemicals required to sterilize surgical instruments. How can you open a new hospital without these items? |

One of my sons was born in the US (we were living there for a period of time) and the other was born here in a private nursing home. I found the service here to be poor and the nurses basically dogs (no joke). The "human" element wasn't there period.
I think Wendy did great in having her baby in the US.
