Are you having to or had to take the covid-19 test when going in to deliver your baby?

Question

I'm just curious. I thought I was going to have too but nope. Didn't even have to wear a mask as long as I was in my room.

Answer

I had to take a test for my scheduled c-section

Answer

I had to do mine two weeks before due date and then self quarantine

Answer

I had to take one at my 39 week appointment per protocol.

Answer

I refused it. Hospital policy would be to separate me from my newborn and I wasn't risking that when both of us are perfectly healthy.

Answer

Yep took it today at 10am , results take 2 hours to get back. Got the negative results and then they were able to start inducing

Answer

I’m scheduled for induction on Saturday and have to get tested Wednesday. If I go into labor on my own I’ll be tested at the hospital. Me and my husband will both have to wear a mask if we have a provider in our room

Answer

I had a test 4 days before induction. Husband had to wear a mask whenever a provider was in the room. I also chose to wear a mask for the first few hours and tried to push with it on.... That didn't last long though and wasn't required since my test was negative.

Answer

I’m getting a COVID testing tomorrow :( I have too since I’m being induce this Friday ☹️

Answer

I had a test 5 days before then when admitted to the hospital. Didnt have to wear a mask. My partner did though, but my midwife allowed him to keep it off in the room x
