CHULA VISTA, Calif. — The maternity ward at Scripps Mercy Hospital in Chula Vista is set to close Sunday, moving its maternity services to its location in Hillcrest. Some expectant mothers tell ABC 10News they've had to change their plans just days before they expect to give birth."The closure date was so close to my due date, it was like maybe you have the baby there, maybe you won't. Or maybe they won't close it," said Morgan."It was a being stuck in limbo feeling.
"I probably still could have gone to Chula Vista if I wanted to," said Morgan."But the doctor was very adamant that their bare-bones staff was not cutting it." "It's wild for someone like me who works who's a mom, to have one day like this is when you're gonna get induced. And I'm like, can I change it?" said Morgan."It's very scary, and knowing the hospital is going through this transition, too. I'm sure they're getting inundated with patients now that this ward is closing."
"It's mind-boggling to me," said Morgan."Imagine being in labor in the morning, when there's traffic going north. What do you do?"Today at Scripps Mercy Hospital Chula Vista, we need more beds for adults and seniors who are coming to us for emergency care, surgeries, cardiac care and other services, and we expect that need to continue.
