Daughter is pregnant! How should she get to hospital when quarantined?

She needs to call her doctor or the hospital and ask about the the process!!

In a plastic bubble?

Maternity Ward is a separate floor

Don't worry

Hire a midwife and have if at home, fucking stupid to go to a hospital anyways for that!

^THIS

My wife is pregnant. Due in Oct.

If it’s still here by then, we will be arranging a dr or midwife to arrive to do at home birth when she goes into labor...

There will be someone to help... even if hospitals are impossible to get to

Should have hired a midwife and planned a home birth. Much better outcomes and happier baby and mom.

And the chances anyone needs to speed to the hospital are slim. That’s an over reaction, especially for a first child. They are usually very slow to make their entrance. Have the baby vaginally for healthier lungs. C section babies never get squeezed so they are born with fluid in their lungs. Everyone needs as healthy lungs as possible now. No epidural is best. An epidural likely leads to the baby’s heart rate being unsteady and the doctor pushing a C section.

Hope all goes well.

This an a billion other questions that people will have when we are all locked down.

My god yes

Don’t fuck this up

At least 2 weeks prior arrange things with her doctor, make sure the hospital where you intend to take her is aware of her due date and, call to ask for information from your local Police Office to ask what special measures you need to take to let them know you're transporting your daughter when the time comes to take her to the maternity ward at whatever hospital you decide on. Planning makes things so much easier.

Even in these days some women would die from child birth if it wasn't for a hospital and doctors

Exactly. Love our midwife and so glad we had one for our 2 healthy children. No vaccines and wife toughed it out without an epidural. Completely natural birth.Feel sorry, but hospital births are unnecessary if you have a good midwife. OP look up a video called "The Business of Being Born" very shocking. Important note is all the unnecessary C-sections that go in hospitals just because you have a long labor.

*Completely natural births for both children.

Find a good Midwife.

Most midwives will not take her at this point. Just call the hospital and get the proper protocol. Don’t panic :)

Thanks for everyone input.

The only question that has not yet been answered is ....

Does anyone remember what color of rg or flag you put outside your window to let police know you are transporting someone having a bab?

Corona is a nice baby name

My first child was an emergency c-section. A midwife I knew wanted me to give birth at home. I was so young I thought that would be the plan.

But that idea would have killed me. 36 hours of hard labor (the baby was turned wrong and wasn't coming out) - we would both be dead if not for me going to the hospital.

Released five days later (newborn was fine) and I'm writing this 40 plus years later.

Go visit the grave sites of ancestral war graves or historical graves. Notice the age of the young women who died in childbirth. The common age was 16. Horrific what these women went through.

Someone told me that you hang a white handkerchief out the window to indicate rushing to the hospital

Call the nonemergency number for local police and ask.

Have the baby at home.

I've never heard of such a flag.

:bagofdicks:

maybe by car?


hospitals should make one way in/out, corona only. and put up signs

WTF who's running this op?

There are a lot of videos on Youtube for 'how to' on natural water birth deliveries (bathtub, pool, river, etc.)

I would suggest you prep on those video and EXPECT to have a home delivery.

You'll be OK and can do it! Pray, fast, prepare!

This is an exciting time for you and your daughter. Celebrate the new life coming into yours!

God bless! :)

I've never heard of this flag.

I had 4 kids and read everything I could get my hands on about childbirth.

I feel as though I learned this when I was very young,

believe it or not the native americans had babies at home without dr visits, vaccines, or drugs for thousands of years and they survived till we brought them diseases and vaccines, she will be fine to stay home and miss an appointment i promiss

This totally! Homebirth if the baby isn't a complicated case or need c-section.
