Delivering baby as covid positive patient (39 weeks)
After many days (22 nov go 25 nov) of back and forth misinformation, finally a certain Dr Teo stepped in to resolve all my issues. She made a few phone calls to diff dept and voila! : 1. I was to be delivered in an emergency ward regardless of CT value. Even if I was diagnosed negative, I still had to deliver in the emergency OT as I was within the first 21 days since my symptoms - this came to light after she spoke to the infectious diseases aka covid specialists 2. Dr Teo manage to get me a single bed in the covid isolation ward because I insisted that baby shouldn’t be exposed to other covid mummies for fear of infecting my baby (yes I am also positive, but my CT values are improving. There are new patients daily who’s CT values may be infectious. They are also usually symptomatic - vomit, lost of smell and taste, breathless, coughing. I had none of the above) 3. I need to upgrade my ward (covid isolation ward is considered wardless and also a subsidised ward) if I want a consultant (doctor) to operate on me. Otherwise, the assigned doc will be in charge aka guide a mentee / trainee to do the op Part 6 (6/8)
