Just venting πŸ˜”

Just venting i guess because none of my close friends have kids yet so I feel like they don't fully understand why I feel so sad about it.

Met with the pregnancy coordinator yesterday and was told that due to covid numbers they have changed the rules for the maternity ward and now my spouse can not stay in the hospital with me. He is allowed to be there while I give birth but must leave two hours after the baby is born. My baby is breech at the moment so may need a c-section (will know for sure next week) which means I could be in the hospital for a couple days. The thought of being alone and vulnerable without my partner is just making me super emotional. The head nurse said they aren't happy with this rule and are trying to have it changed but no guarantees. I realize majority of women are going through the same issues due to covid but it just kinda feels like he is being robbed of the whole experience as he has not been able to attend appointments or ultrasounds either (our 1st baby).

I know im being a complainer but can't help but feel sad about it. I'm blessed because I know I will have a helpful, eager husband at home waiting for us but 😀😭
