Hospital policies vary by hospital. There is no way to know what your hospital will do by comparing stories from others. When I gave birth August 2020 they rapid tested any woman presenting to the ER in labor. Inductions and planned c-sections were tested several days prior to being admitted. I was scheduled for an induction and went into natural labor the morning of my induction. They didn’t test me again but they would have if I had gone through the ER. My husband was not tested at any point. I was told if i was positive they would observe my newborn and if they didn’t have symptoms they would keep her from me but if she was symptomatic I could have her with me. I would never have let them separate us but that’s what their expectations were.

I think that was one of my biggest fears of testing positive because where I’m from I always heard that if I tested positive I wasn’t able to be with my baby boy but thank god I test negative and my husband didn’t have to get tested . I’m just glad god was by our sides that day

I tested positive with no symptoms but I knew I would test positive as my husband tested positive a few days before I went into labor. The baby was tested negative after she was born. I did get a stuffy nose and lost my sense of taste and smell for a few days.

I was postive covid on my due date and i had to postpone my csection surgery for a week until i recover. However, i got very mild symptoms

It was required that I get tested but I did not test positive. My husband did not have to get tested.
