Hey ladies.

Just a little panic / venting post.

So I’m AD military and set to give birth any day now. Our labor and delivery section on base is closing down so they’re limited on staff so they’ve been diverting people to a different hospital off base if their beds are full. Granted I’m in Italy and the hospital here is a nightmare and the doctors don’t speak english so I’d have to have a translator with me. If I go into labor and they don’t have a bed for me I’m gonna have to go to an Italian hospital. Which scares me. And they won’t let my husband stay the night with me. They don’t provide you with anything normal hospitals do after delivery. I have to buy everything myself. I’m starting to panic. I don’t want my delivery to be a bad experience and I want my husband there by my side through it all. I know the hospital beds are all full right now and here I am having a ton of cramping. I’m panicking and stressing myself out over this 😩
