I had a sore throat and headache since last night didnt think anything of it just thought it was a general sore throat as lots going around but decide to do a covid test as my chest is really tight and came back positive.
Do i need to let midwife know?
Iam booked in for induction tomorrow and really want it to go a head as i have been booked in twice this week but they cancelled. Will they allow me to go ahead with induction or will they cancel again and reschedule? Has anyone had this happen to them.

Im 39+3 and have been seen in the hospital. They have a duty of care, regardless of if you have covid or not, if it’s in the best interest of your baby to be induced, then that’s what happens. Call your midwife and inform them of your test results, they’ll monitor you more closely. Good luck ♥️
So you have covid too and still allowed to go to your appointment?
Im being induced because of baby measuring big and they didnt want me to go over 40 weeks so was meant to go in on monday, they then cancelled to wednesday, then cancelled again to tomorrow and im just very worried they will cancel again knowing i have covid. Which will then be cancelled for a few days again so she will be much bigger as 3 weeks ago she was measuring 8lb1

Yes I tested positive on Tuesday and have been ill ever since! Went in to get monitored and still have scheduled appointments. They cannot cancel purely based on covid, it’s in her best interested to be born now and they have to honour that. Covid precautions are there for a reason 🤷🏻♀️

I would definitely tell them, I’m sure this has been pretty common over the last few years so they must have something in place for when things like this happen. Plus them knowing will give them the best chance at protecting other mums and newborns from catching it when you go in.

I would definitely tell them. First to protect them and second they will monitor you more during labour etc and make sure you breathe well etc. They will make sure to protect themselves and if they will probably ask the person who will be with you to also get tested for covid etc :)

I tested positive at 39 weeks and they asked me to wait until I was negative to come to hospital for my appt x
