>Wolfe was born seven weeks and five days early. Louise, from Wiltshire, said: “It’s just so unfair that I sorted out insurance to cover all of this and we’re in this situation
But, they didn’t sort out insurance. They thought they did, but they got it wrong and the insurance they had didn’t cover them. I appreciate small print isn’t interesting and most people skip it, but they’ve just spent £10,000 to learn why that’s not a good idea.
I wish people would take responsibility for themselves. So many people expect to be spoonfed and handheld all their lives. If you’re going abroad and are heavily pregnant, bloody check to make sure you have suitable coverage in the entirely predictable event that your baby comes early!
This is why you always get travel Insuranve… Especially when fucking pregnant.
Limited sympathy, maybe don’t fly abroad while heavily pregnant
Maybe it is just me but I wouldn’t go on holiday with a heavily pregnant wife let alone without thoroughly checking the small print on an the insurance. It is shit for them but it is off their own making and I have no sympathy
Isn’t travel abroad advised against when in your third trimester in part because stuff like this is a risk ?
Always read the small print on your insurance policies.
*Turkish state owned hospitals are free for foreigners* – either via ambulance or walk-in. I know i was both surprised and grateful to receive amazing care, a prophylactic course of rabies vaccines, an extra tetanus shot – all at no cost and with no questions asked. In my experience Turkish people were generally extremely hospitable and helpful, much more than most other countries I’ve visited.
So yeah, I have to wonder if these tourists didn’t fuck up by not googling and checking out the basic healthcare situation in Turkiye.
If they look up ‘Sympathy’ they’ll find it somewhere in the dictionary between ‘Shit’ and ‘Syphilis’.
I just find that whole Go Fund Me fucking outrageous sometimes. Donate to such wank spangles all you like but I’ll just think you’re pillock.
I bet if they named the insurance company, they would meet the bill. Fear of losing business as then people would go elsewhere for insurance.
They probably need to money to fix the guy’s haircut.
Imagine being dumb enough to not avoid this obvious risk! I always find this kind of “victim” narrative irksome.
This is why we have the best NHS it’s free in uk DONT lose it never get it back
Is this not why we have adequate travel insurance? You’d definitely be able to get a policy covering this for less than £100.
This thread is so full of insufferable smug pricks
I am baffled why they went on holiday while she was pregnant – adding massive risk to the trip not just this financial mess they got themselves into.

That said, this is obviously a horrible situation and you can donate to help them with the costs [here](https://www.gofundme.com/f/this-family-get-this-beautiful-boy-home).
