I would have thought with her history etc she would have been a private patient but it doesn't appear like she is cause consultant would likely recommend a c section in this instance. I really hope she has a great team keeping an eye on her and baby.I had to fight for my section. It was only confirmed 3 weeks before my due date. It was a really stressful pregnancy not knowing. I’d had surgery a few years prior & was told future pregnancies would be an automatic section. The consultant disagreed & wouldn’t sign off on it. Only for he was missing towards the end someone else booked me in with no hassle.
I’d say she’ll end up having a section, if she hasn’t got the energy now & her lungs are giving her grief they’d be taking a huge risk making her go through a natural birth
Apparently she is not vaccinated.Does anyone know did she get vaccinated? Fully vaccinated 22 weeks pregnant here and freaked out watching her stories.
You are given an option to care for them yourself or delegate a health care worker or family member. If you do it yourself the HSE advice is an isolated room, baby in an incubator and gowning with PPE when holding the baby and its meant to last for 14 days but not sure how that is being implemented nowDeffo agree re section. They might not agree readily but it is one of those times we need to speak up and advocate for our babies. I'd be getting that baby out tonight. No question. What happens with a covid positive mum in terms of being able to hold/ feed baby?
That’s disgraceful, whatever happened to a woman’s right to choose? I hope she does end up having a section. At this stage when induction has started it will be an emergency one. A lot more panic will ensue then in comparison to a planned one which she should have had imoI had to fight for my section. It was only confirmed 3 weeks before my due date.

She didn’t want to get vaccinated because she is pregnant. I understand her concern but I think I would get vaccinated if I was pregnant just to be on the safe side. I don’t think she is anti vaxx but she is terrible about wearing her mask.Apparently she is not vaccinated.
Absolutely, I was traumatised after my first due to a long drawn out induction which lead to exhaustion, and not so pleasant midwives added into the mix. I then developed ptsd as a result so for my second I requested a section straight away. Recovery was harder with the section yes, but my mental health recovered immensely & with a newborn, the physical scars dont hurt as much as the mental ones so I was so happy I had control over thatYou can I done it in January!
My reason was I refused induction and baby needed to be born so they obliged my section no problem.
A planned section is an easier recovery than an exhausting birth (again personal experience) and regardless the evidence is out there to show covid is very dangerous for the baby that's enough reason to book or want a section. That baby is safer out than in!
When I seen that I was like jeez is she not ready to pop, wouldn't consider it safe. Hopefully mom and baby will be OK thoughI commenting here on the photo of all the staff on top of each other maskless the other night.
Now look. How many close contacts are on her list.
I hope everything goes OK for her though.
Don't forget shes trying to twist this into a positive marketing/engagement thing. Hence tagging pippa (who's just launched her own book aboutnoregnancy/fertility journeys etc) hoping shel catch the story is related to pregnancy, uniquely covid and labour, and get her some engagement.If I was her situation, the last thing I'd want to be doing or worrying about is tagging other celebs/influencers on indsa- and I've had 4 kids, and been induced twice, so I know the drill.
There on insta now , wouldnt it be the last thing on your mind , shes trying to pull everything for sympathy, i empathise with her situation, She documents too much online , she needs to think of herself and baby , pood midwives trying to deal with a covid induced patient, put the phone away, bloody insta takes over their livesIf I was her situation, the last thing I'd want to be doing or worrying about is tagging other celebs/influencers on indsa- and I've had 4 kids, and been induced twice, so I know the drill.
And all the traveling up and down to Dublin and Belfast in a pandemic when a highly transmitted variant is rampant in both places.I am 30 weeks and have not got the vaccine and won’t be getting it until after the baby there is not enough info on it for pregnant woman I don’t blame her not getting it but that meal was very silly
