[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most DC hospitals are requiring a COVID test before admitting to labor and delivery. If you’re being induced/scheduled c-section. They’ll have you come in 2 or 3 days early to do the test. If you go into labor on your own, they’ll do the test while you’re in triage. My results were in within 30 minutes. I assume that’s rapid, and the swab went WAY up there for about 5-10 seconds. It feels similar to the pinch you feel when you get water up your nose. You will continue to wear a mask through delivery even after testing negative. The test mostly dictates how much PPE the doctors and nurses need to wear while interacting with you. It also means you and your support person cannot leave your room, and that the baby may need to be isolated.

The rest really isn’t that bad, and by refusing it, you’re unnecessarily wasting resources, and inconveniencing both the staff and yourselves during the duration of your stay. [/quote]

I followed my child when he was born and my wife was stitched up because im paranoid about switching babies and stuff.

youre telling me i cant do that now? what if i singlehandedly decide to follow my child to wherever they take him? [/quote]

I did the same with my 6 kids. [/quote]

People like this are so stupid. You're not even the one going into labor but you can't wear a freaking mask for the health of your wife and/or baby?

Stop creating conflict where there is none.[/quote]
