The classic pregnancy book What to Expect When You’re Expecting lists a few common questions women ask themselves before their baby’s due date, including “Can I work until I deliver?” and “Will I know labor when I feel it?” (Answers: yes, and probably.) Some questions not covered in the book: “What if my obstetrician has been called away to care for covid-19 patients?”, “Should I have a home birth to avoid the hospital?” or “Can babies catch coronavirus?”\n

Of course, many pregnant women don’t have the option of avoiding their doctors’ offices, either because their physicians haven’t provided the same guidance as Dr. Worth has, or because they’re high-risk and need to have more frequent ultrasounds, or they’re on Medicaid and can’t afford to pursue alternative childbirth .

When I spoke to Dr. Worth after the webinar, she said she felt sure that in New York City, anyway, the hospitals would continue to accept women in labor. “I believe that our city government will build ten ICUs in a parking lot before they kick out all the other patients.” That’s good news for high-risk patients who don’t have another option. Sandra Rose, 35, from Brooklyn, is due with twins on May 24, but is scheduled to undergo a C-section on May 10.
Talitha Phillips, the CEO of Claris Health, which offers affordable sexual health services in underserved communities in Los Angeles, said she’s particularly concerned about black women, who have disproportionately high rates of infant and maternal mortality and are often suspicious of healthcare providers because they’ve been condescended to in the past or experienced iatrogenic trauma.
