Does anyone here speak Greek please?

[Aworryingtrend]

DH and I are travelling to Santorini for a week at the end of May. I will be 20 weeks pregnant and I have had some bleeding early on in the pregnancy plus have got low blood pressure so feeling dizzy a lot.

Just to complicate matters nicely, I am also blood type Rhesus Negative, and so if I do experience any bleeding now I have been told to have an injection of 'Anti-D" within 72 hours of bleeding starting to prevent my body forming antibodies which could harm the baby if the baby is a positive blood type (DH is positive).

I was wondering therefore if anyone would be so very kind as to translate the following? I am wary of using eg babelfish for something so important.

I am 5 months/20 weeks pregnant.
I have had some light/heavy bleeding.
Today/yesterday.
Take me to the hospital please.
I feel dizzy.
I am blood type rhesus negative.
I need an injection of Anti-D.

Not sure if Doctors in Greece would know what Anti-D is- not sure if its a universal term?

Thanks so much to anyone who can help.

There's a poster called alexpolis who speaks Greek.

Eime pende minon (5 months)/ eikosi evdomades (20 weeks) egios
Eixa elafria (light)/ varia (heavy) aimoragia
Simera (today) xthes (yesterday)
Pigainte me sto nosokomio
Esthanomai zalada
Omada aimatos omicron arnitiko (just to check you are O -? This is what I have translated. Arnitiko is negative)
Xriazomai enesi Anti-D (not sure how to transplate the last medical term)

On the plus side the large majority of doctors will speak English in Greece, however do not assume that Sandorini will have a hospital. There is one under construction but not as yet working. The usual method of dealing with urgent cases in the islands is to take people to the nearest larger island or mainland by helicopter, although Santorini also has a small airport.

I found this number of a gyneacologist in Santorini online: 2286025080

I am sure you won't need any of the above though and you'll have a great holiday!

Thank you so so much Booboostoo, that is so kind of you, I really appreciate it. Yes as far as I can tell Santorini only has a health centre so am googling now to see where the nearest bigger hospital is.

Thank you so much for the number of the gynaecologist, that really is kind of you to locate that.

As you say I am hoping that all the advanced preparation will mean I won't need it- better safe than sorry!

Thank you again.

Chances are you won't need any of this and will have a wonderful holiday, but I know what you mean about being prepared!! I prefer knowing all my options in advance as well!

Ask away if you have any other questions (I am Greek btw so if you need anything else translating let me know).

I don't know if you know this but as a UK resident you will be entitled to free public health care in Greece with your EHIC, however private hospitals are a million times better in Greece so it's well worth having private health cover for your holiday. The main gyneacology hospitals in Athens are Iaso and Mitera (both are very good, the former is a tad newer and more modern thinking).
