I’m pregnant and stuck in Spanish prison over unpaid £370 fine – I’m terrified I’ll have my baby in jail
A HEAVILY pregnant mum has been left terrified of giving birth in a Spanish prison after being jailed over an unpaid fine.
Jamielee Fielding was on holiday in Tenerife in August when she was arrested for not paying a 420 Euros fine over a drunken altercation in Malaga back in 2021.
She was arrested upon arrival at the Canary Island and was jailed for four months.
The mum from West Lothian has now urged UK authorities to help her get out of the nick in Santa Cruz.
And has been left terrified at the thought of giving birth in Spain with her due date just eight weeks away.
Speaking to the BBC, Jamielee said: “I can’t contemplate having her here on my own in a foreign hospital and not speaking the language.

“I want to have a safe birth and make sure she’s healthy.
“I’m hoping for a miracle but I’m going to have to get used to the idea because the way things are going, it doesn’t look like there’s going to be anyway of me getting back home to have her.”
SNP MP Hannah Bardell has called for help for her constituent to try and get her home safely before giving birth.
Ms Bardell said in the House of Commons: “Can we have a debate on the treatment of British citizens in Spanish prisons?

“My Livingston constituent Jamielee Fielding is nearly seven months pregnant and has gestational diabetes, but despite having paid the fine, the Spanish authorities in Tenerife are holding her, removing vital food and medication, and breaching her human rights.
“She has a very short window to get home to have her baby.
“Would the Leader of the House press the Foreign Secretary to help get Jamielee home, and to meet me so that I can do everything I can to make sure that she is safe, healthy and home as soon as possible?”
