Anyone give birth Covid positive?

Question

After nearly two years of dodging it, my husband and I tested covid positive and I’m due in a week so I’m freaking out. I haven’t been able to call my OB yet (she’s out of office until Tuesday - it’s currently Saturday) but has anyone here given birth with Covid? How did the hospital handle things?? 
Husband has aches, mild fever, light cough. I have no symptoms. We contracted the virus from someone (an RN!!!) who tested positive before being around us and did not disclose it until 3 days AFTER exposing us (yeah, I am fuming).

Answer

I asked my doctor at my 38 week appointment. She said a Covid positive for mom is more important for doctors and nurses to make sure they’re in full PPE and to make sure you wear a mask and stay in your room and apparently a few other measures that help prevent transmission to baby. She said if the man tests positive, they will let him in delivery room as long as he’s not showing symptoms at the time. And they don’t separate baby unless there’s a medical emergency

Answer

You need to find out your hospital policy.
But my friend had one at birth few months back. The hospital she delivered doesn't let husband (or any support person) in, if either mother or father tests positive. But other than that all was the same, doctors had more ppe and in our area nurises change, but in her case she had the same nurse. And she was not in regular delivery ward but in some another area, but the room was same as in delivery rooms. After birth she also wa smonitored more and she could not leave her room. Had to wear mask when other people were in room also.
But that maybe defferwnt in other areas.
