Covid+ at W38

#pregnancy #covid Hi, I had just self tested positive on ART and had booked an appointment at the clinic for the PCR test. I think it's quite likely I'll be warded for observation, does anyone have the same experience and do you know what to pack for the hospital bag pls? Will share more as this progresses.

Yet another update today, got a call from a MOH Teledoctor to access if I am fine and able to quarantine at home. If I am approved to, there will be another follow up assessment call in 3 days. We felt it was more prudent to go to the hospital - if I have recovered or is assessed to be well, I can be discharged on D7 as usual, and may go back to my usual gynae. If the doctors feel my, or baby's health needs additional monitoring I will be kept under observation until we are fine. For the hospital bag, bring the delivery bag, clothes for discharge, and entertainment devices. One visitor with negative test result may be allowed to bring additional things if needed. D4 symptoms: stuffy nose, coughing and yellowish phlegm

I think it's up to you - is your baby kicking well and do you feel anything is wrong? Does your gynae know you are positive and does he/she recommend you come in earlier? I'm supposed to be on weekly consults now since I may deliver anytime, but I can tell you my TMC gynae clinic is super relaxed about following up after I missed the last appt due to Covid. Essentially their response was "ok take care let us know when u negative". I'm still positive...
