Delivering with COVID?

Question

I’ve been experiencing some COVID symptoms the past couple days and it obviously worries me but especially because my c section is set for January 20. Has anyone delivered with a positive test? If so, did you have to wait to see your baby?

Answer

If you’re inducing earlier than 40 weeks and it’s safe for you to wait till full term, they might reschedule it. 
They won’t take your baby from you. They can’t. You can wear a mask and be around your baby. 
If you have a positive Covid result, I think there might not be a support person allowed during delivery (ask because I am not sure). 
If you’re delivering via C-section, doctors and nurses will already be dressed in proper gear so they’ll just add additional PPE and ask you keep your mask on. 
You can call your hospital/doc office and ask specific questions. CDC recommends isolating for 10-14 days from 1st day symptoms started. I think if you’re already experiencing symptoms, you won’t be contagious by Jan 20th. 
Best of luck!
