Induction this week but husband has Covid
Has anyone given birth at Darent Valley recently, either with them or their birth partner being Covid positive? We called the hospital to ask what the policy is but they said they needed to check and will call me back. My husband has been feeling sick for over a week but has only tested positive today (I’m negative and have had the Covid jab).
I’m being induced Thursday at 37w due to concerns with umbilical blood flow. The most recent guidance on the hospital website we can see says that birth partners won’t be allowed in unless they have not had a positive test in 10 days, but this was posted over a year ago. I’m just terrified of giving birth alone and am hoping he’s negative by Thursday and that they allow him in and that I don’t end up getting it!
Hope everything went well with this! We’re in a similar situation and I’m a bit concerned. If you feel comfortable, please let us know how it went
