Here is our story....

I’ve been hesitant to share my story, because It’s not over yet and to be honest I feel like I’m living in a nightmare that I’ll never wake up from..

As you know I went into the hospital on June 29th for pre term labor, they stopped the labor, tested me for covid with the rapid quick test (negative) and sent me home the next afternoon. I go home, and everything is fine, I carry on with my every day life like normal.

2:30 am July 11th, I woke up in bed, in excruciating pain, and went straight to the hospital. They came in and told me my placenta was detaching and they wanted to do a c section right then, they also said they needed to do another Rapid Covid test even tho I was negative on the 29th. 40 minutes later they come to take me back to the OR and say “by the way, you’re covid positive” sooo here I am, in complete shock, going into surgery that I’m already terrified of, super confused how in the hell im “covid positive”

They do the surgery, Elsie was born first, and Aria 3 minutes later. I never seen them. They would not hold them up so I could look at them not even for a second. They took them away and transferred them to Dayton Children’s. After my surgery I was told that the rapid covid tests are not accurate and throw a lot of false positives. They suggested I take the confirmation test to prove I don’t have covid and said as soon as those results were negative, I could see my babies. If I refused the confirmation test, I would not be allowed to see my babies at allll.....so I take the test.

The next morning, my nurse comes in to tell me the confirmation test was positive as well, so now I have two postive covid tests. So now they have to test my babies for covid, TWICE.....two days in a row....both of my babies are negative. I am not sick, I have no fever, no body aches, I feel great.....NEVER HAD ANY SYMPTOMS

Today is July 16th...my babies were born on the 11th, and me and their dad still have NOT seen them. Even with a negative test their dad is not allowed to see them until he has a second negative test on July 20th and then they’ll discuss allowing us to see our babies MAYBE on July 22nd.

My babies are PERFECTLY fine. They are so healthy and strong and perfect. They need a little help eating at the moment because they’re still a little small, but that’s it.

So here we are sitting in our home, feeling perfectly normal and healthy, being told were not allowed to see our babies. I literally watch my babies from a live stream to my phone..with no idea when I’ll ever see them.

Idk what your thoughts are on covid, I don’t even know what my thoughts are anymore, but please believe when it comes to this shit we have absolutely NOOO rights and NOOOO say over our selves or our children. Obviously I do not want to infect my babies with this...I would never want to jeopardize their health but I feel fine, how am I even positive?! but anyone who is pregnant or about to give birth PLEASE KEEEEP ME IN MIND! IF YOU COME BACK POSITIVE YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY SAY ON WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BABY. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. My entire house is quarantined to separate bedrooms, were living off of Instacart and pictures of the twins, just trying to get by.

So if I haven’t responded to your messages or calls, this is why. I am just trying to stay sane and not fall into some deep depression while being locked in my home not allowed to see my own children with no date as to when I ever will. 2020 has been a blast. Here’s some pictures of my babies...this is the best that I get (first 4 are Elsie and second 4 are Aria)
