Sorry WillHurtDontcare tried to quote your post but can’t get to work.
This is where we are now. My wife is due in 3 weeks. She doesn’t want to go to prenatal appointments etc. Worried what will happen if she or I contracts the virus before the birth. Worried about getting it at the dr’s or at the hospital. No one has good answer. When you call hospital or doctor with concern all they care about is if you have symptoms or not. Worrisome times.

I'm in a similar boat - my girlfriend is due in two weeks. I looked for some studies online, and the ones I found were promising. The number of participants in the studies were small, but for the most part it seems like pregnant women were ok and generally gave birth to healthy babies in spite of having COVID. Also, the women did not pass COVID on to their babies.
After seeing that, I stopped looking because I really can't control it anyway. My gf is 38, so not having the baby at a hospital is a much bigger risk to both her and the baby than the scenarios where we get COVID at the hospital. I'm actually more worried about whether or not I'll be able to be there for the birth (currently the birth partner or support person is still allowed at our hospital, but that could always change).
@GIlman may have more insight and better access to the studies - would love to hear his opinion.
