Hello, today I received news that I am covid positive after a routine swab ahead of a planned c section tomorrow morning (breech baby). No symptoms, very shocked. After a brief meltdown we have realised that the good news is that this won't affect us as much as some: we have no bubble as parents all live three hours away, we had a big food order arrive this week and another booked for next week. Husband can come to c section and stay on ward for a decent period of time. We feel very lucky.
However, we have been advised that according to guidelines we need to keep away from each other in the home during our ten day period of isolation - ideally I would stay in one room with the door closed so that husband is not exposed. We have done this today since we found out about the result. But what happens when we come home from hospital? Apart from wanting to all be together as a new family I assume I will need his help more than ever with a new baby (we are first time parents) and in recovery from the c section. Does anyone have any advice? I will ask at the hospital tomorrow but I'm not sure how we are to manage this. Thanks in advance x
