[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been sad about it but my husband has taken me to all my appointments and waited outside. If there was bad news he would be right outside the door waiting for me. I do have to text him right away after the doctor leaves giving him updates because he’s more nervous than I am! He also does all my telehealth appointments with me so he can meet the doctors and ask questions—they have been very supportive of that!

My first appointment was right as most practices were changing policies so I asked and their response was “we have a room full of pregnant women, we aren’t risking it.” A husband showed up and said he needed to translate for his wife. They said they had a translation service and he needed to step out of the office to wait. As for legal rights, I’ve heard hospitals can’t even test birth partners for COVID because they aren’t a patient.

You can’t have it both ways. You either understand the risks and follow them or you just don’t care about them only when it’s convenient for you. [/quote]
