What is absurd is your absolutely mind numbingly stupid response.
People are asked to do many things prior to an operation or a delivery in an effort to improve the outcome and you feel the need to ask how they would know?
What an idiot.

Hey now, some things are more important than the health and safety of her, the staff, and her baby
Like her freedom to go out to eat or shop at Target

Meanwhile the illegal immigrant with no prenatal care can walk up to an ER with no testing and have her baby hassle free

I started reading this board a couple months ago because there was intelligent discourse regarding the outbreak with docters and nurses giving their opinion. Now I simply lose what few IQ numbers I have every time I come here.
The state of Louisiana is screwed if the majority of those posting here are representative of whole.

Not one hospital would turn you away in your uneducated hypothetical. The woman's doctor requested that they quarantine prior to being admitted but the "baws" on here find that unreasonable.

Oh, frick off. I wear a mask in public and would do anything for my baby. I’m not questioning doing everything in my power to protect my baby. It’s absurd that they’d make anyone sign a fricking unenforceable “contract.”

That's why you have a few bars outside LSU campus with 100 cases. The increase in cases will only continue to climb. People get sideways if you ask them to wear a simple mask. It's mind boggling

Who said they had to sign anything?
Would imagine it was to bring awareness to the the couple that they really should take this seriously right before the baby is born.
They make you sign pre surgery stuff all the time saying you will not eat or drink so many hours before your surgery or they will cancel the surgery.
Same thing. Obviously they can’t refuse to admit a woman in labor, but they could refuse the father being there for the delivery if that was the policy the hospital had and the father admitted he didn’t take any special precautions prior to the due date

The protocol is very simple at my institution:
Elective surgeries and invasive procedures - SARS CoV-2 PCR at testing center sent to reference lab within a 5 day window of scheduled procedure (results typically in 1.5 -2 days).
Emergency surgeries - in-house PCR test - usually resulted in 15 min to one hour. Do not have to wait on result if clinical situation dictates extreme urgency - treat as positive if unknown until/unless result is known.
Scheduled labor inductions/Cesarean deliveries - same as elective surgeries, reference lab test in 5 day window of scheduled procedure.
Presenting in labor - in-house test.
Patients allowed one support person/visitor with them during surgery or labor. Visitors (and patients) screened via query and forehead scan at entry points. Persons entering facility must be masked to enter facility and remain as such with exceptions as follow: women laboring and postpartum with negative SARS CoV-2 PCR are not masked during labor or postpartum stay. Support person is required to be masked during stay. Support person/visitors are not tested as a condition of their stay, but would be referred for testing based on clinical criteria.
It is suggested that patients scheduled for procedures and/or nearing delivery exercise appropriate social distancing guidelines, educated on hand hygeine, encouraged to wear masks in public, etc. but not told to quarantine during that period.

Our facility doesn’t tell women to quarantine as well but pretty much same as what you just posted
(Except surgery patients not allowed any visitors).
Thankfully most of my state right now is mandated to wear masks now whenever in public.

Woman's has 4 pods for after delivery. With a large amount of rooms per pod. We checked in on the 29th. Labor ending in a c-section on the 30th and were out may 3rd.
On the 30th at around 7pm I passed by the ticker they have saying 30 births. The nurse the next day told me it was 36 by midnight.
The rooms on either side were unoccupied the entire time. I saw 3 other dads total as I went to grab food from the cafeteria.
I'm sure that if someone tests positive they marked off one of the pods for covid only.

I agree - and she and her husband are wondering the same thing - I honestly think that she will work from home starting 2 weeks before she’s due, and they will say he did a he same whether he did or not.

A family member of mine just gave birth five weeks ago at Woman's Hospital and she said that neither she nor her husband were tested for Covid 19. They were just screened, which consisted of them having their temperature taken and asked several questions. They were told to quarantine for 14 days following release from the hospital because Covid was possibly going around the hospital and they could have been exposed. They were fine though.

I’m an internet doctor and you and your wife are fine. Why the frick are you asking the OT about this.
Posted on 6/22/20 at 1:34 am to TDsngumbo
I can confirm that she CAN refuse being tested. Support persons are not being tested.

You called all the hospitals around you to find that out?

This may have been answered already but I was too lazy to read all 4 pages:
My wife and I just had a baby at North Oaks in Hammond 3 weeks ago, and our good friends just had one at Woman’s 3 weeks ago.
Both of us were told for months that Husband’s and wives both have to be tested.
Both of us got to the hospitals and the wives ended up being the only ones tested and not us, apparently they had just relaxed the rules recently.
Chalk that up as another win for the baws!

I recently had emergency surgery. First surgery of my life and first time even in a hospital. They did the covid test on my in the ER. They test every person who is getting any kind of procedure.
And yes, I am a statistic of the fake BS. Had 6 Covid Tests total and my record was 5-1
