Delivering baby as covid positive patient (39 weeks)
Hello Mummies. I just share my experience, delivered baby as a covid positive patient. I was scheduled to deliver via caesarean on 22nd November at 8 am in the morning. As per my gynae, I am to check in to hospital after 12 midnight, take ART and PCR. I checked in at 2.30 am, took both swabs. ART was positive at 2.57 am. The nurses informed me that the PCR will be out at 6 am. They will wheel me into the theatre at 7.15 am and my op will continue as planned at 8 am. My PCR was not out by 6 am. Nobody updated or gave me any information on what was going on by 7.15 am either. The nurses stood at the door of my isolation room (I am isolated with hubby). Nobody dared enter even when they were wearing the protective gear. By 8.10 am still no update. And definitely not doing the op. The nurses finally called me on the hospital phone to say that I have to wait another hour until 9ish for my PCR to be out. 9.11 am, I received an sms from MOH. Unfortunately I was really tested positive. Where I got it, I still have no idea. None of my family members were positive. I asked for the whereabouts of my gynae: MIA. 10.30 am I was informed she was performing another op. She finally appeared at around 11.30 am. Simply stating: You’re positive so we have to wait for further checks before performing caesarean on you. “Can it be today?” Part 1 (1/8)
