My wife gave birth 4 weeks ago.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.
We are super thankful that we gave birth before all of this started, but now we are at the point where we are questioning if we need to go in for all these appointments.
We had to bring the little one into the children's hospital to check his jaundice levels a couple of nights ago. They would only let one adult in the hospital and never gave any updates or indication of how long it would be. So the 18 month and me stayed in the car.
Hospital was nearly empty, online tools said it was a 30 min wait time. My wife and baby ended up being there for 6 (six!!!) hours. Kinda freaky. Signs everywhere about COVID. I am glad we were there so late so that it was not busy.
Now we have all these other routine checkups. We will probably skip half of them and only go to the important ones (vaccines) as we don't really want to hang out where all the sick people are. My wife does not have her licence, so the whole family goes to all of them. If possible now it is just me and the baby, or I drop my wife off with whoever needs to go in order to limit our time in clinics and hospitals.
