Our hospital (not in DC area ) Covid tests every patient. It's the rapid one though that doesn't go as deep as the traditional one.
I've had the deep one about a dozen times now. It burns and stings a bit but it's not bad. |

Epidural for the win. It’s 2020. Get with the program shorty. |

Kan u opt out tho? |

Yes, but then they will treat you like you have it. Probably won’t be allowed a support person. Will have to be in isolation and wear a mask the entire time. |

Seriously? What a selfish action. No regard for the people risking their health to help you deliver your baby. |

Uhm... How do you know OP is selfish? In other words, how do you she’s sick? |

| Yes of course. You can opt out, but then will give birth alone in an isolation unit. Baby will be removed for testing as well. |

Please consider putting your child up for adoption. |

| Oh I really hope the responses aren't from OP. CPS should be involved. I'm going to guess drugs, alcohol, or an unfavorable living situation for a baby are in play here. |

| Why don't you call your OB? I realize you're likely a child yourself, but I assume you're getting prenatal care |

Woah... that’s harsh. Like, extremely rude and disrespectful. |
