“The couple, from the US, were on holiday in Malta when Andrea Prudente, who's 16-weeks pregnant, started losing blood. Doctors told her the placenta was partly detached and her pregnancy was no longer viable.”
“But the baby's heart was still beating - and in Malta this means that by law doctors cannot end the pregnancy.”
“For the past week, the couple have been stuck in a hospital room, waiting.”
