Delivering baby as covid positive patient (39 weeks)
“Yes sure. Probably later in the noon after the infectious diseases doctor check on you.” Meanwhile she stood with her arms close to her belly, at least 2m away from me. She asked if I’d like to xfer to a Govt hosp as there may be complications arising from covid. And the Govt hosp is more equipped for that. But if all was well, I didn’t need to be transferred. FYI I had no covid symptoms except for block nose when admitted for delivery on 22nd nov. I was sniffing and had sore throat between 17 to 19 nov, tested ART negative on 19 nov at home after experiencing symptoms. Discussed with the hubby and decided to xfer to Govt for 2 reasons: 1. If the Pte hosp is unable to handle the complications, I will have to xfer to Govt hosp anw. 2. The staff didn’t seem like they cared for me. They were scared of me. They didn’t dare to come close. We decided around 1 pm to xfer to Govt hosp. But they still have to move me from delivery ward to isolation ward for covid. My hubby had to go home now (he is ART positive. Still pending PCR results). My gynae finally appeared again around 1ish. Still standing 2m away. And kept asking me to see the infectious diseases doctor to determine which day was day 1 of my covid and which is the last day of my covid before deciding next steps. Part 2 (2/8)
