Redditor misses birth of his child due to self testing covid positive

[kengriffeyjr24]

What an absolute cuck


https://www.reddit.com/r/Parenting/c...ughters_birth/

My wife is in labor right now and I can’t be there with her because I tested covid positive when we arrived at the hospital.

I can’t believe I am missing this, I can’t support my wife, I can’t be there for her if anything happens.

When our first was born I was there the whole time and it was a very important experience for both of us. Picking up my son right after birth is a moment I’ll never forget, it’s a life defining moment for me. And now that it’s the second time I’m missing it.

I’m looking for people with similar experiences telling me (hopefully) that it’s not a huge deal.

EDIT: First off, thanks everyone for the support. Truly, it's helping.

Second, since a few people asked for an update: her sister is at the hospital but not in the delivery room. My wife didn't want anyone in beside me. Anyway the nurse told her they gave my wife a shot of epidural about 1 hour ago, so maybe we'll have news in a couple of hours. My wife is not answering texts, which is actually comforting, it means she's as focused on delivering our daughter as she could possibly be.

I will update again when anything relevant happens. Thanks again.

EDIT # 2: Baby is born. So far my wife sent me a simple photo, they both seem ok which is all that matters. Again, thank all of you. Hope they are home for christmas.

Redditors seem much more supportive of the ops than miscers lmao

Where do you see he self tested

[ChingonGuero]

in 4 results of redditor's paternity test

this.

EDIT: In this comments, the redditor said that the hospital tested both he and his wife.

[FelixTheCat1919]

People are seriously still playing that game of obsessively testing themselves for it every time they get the sniffles? Did they ever even improve the old instant tests of 2020/2021 that were only 50% - 60% accurate?

I guess it says the hopsital made them test for covid. I know of no hosiptals that are still requiring that routine procedures, which a normal healthy birth kind of falls under.

[Godfrd824]

So while his wife and child are immune compromised you think it's a good idea to be next to them with any communicable disease?

This thread is dumb as fuk.

[freeburn]

So, he tested positive for covid but misc thinks he should go be in the room when his baby is born?

[P51]

Are you suggesting that someone with an illness should be around their newborn and weakened wife?

Wut...... How old were you when you found out your parents were brother and sister?

[nickh04]

cant he just wear a mask? also if his wife is vaxxed she doesnt have to worry. they just need to instavaxx the baby immediately after its born and everyone will be saved.

Has covid affected newborns?

Why does he need to be tested prior? We did birth for decades without testing people for the flu....

It's a mild cold, you absolute pussy.

I'm shocked you're still pissing yourself over it

Spoiler!

Jk no I'm not. Fuck you, nancy boy.

[ezmac31]

Abandon your wife and kid over a cold, and some miscers here supporting it like good little redditors.

Lmao

If he tested negative but clearly had a cold, what would you think is the appropriate action?

EDIT #3 "For all those asking where we are due to being tested for covid, we are in Italy. They reintroduced mandatory tests a few weeks ago in pregnancy wards."


Okay, op...


In Op's head "Redditor misses birth of his child due to self testing covid positive"

Reality "For all those asking where we are due to being tested for covid, we are in Italy. They reintroduced mandatory tests a few weeks ago in pregnancy wards."

[Ripper908]

oh you know just the fact he is going to the one place where there may be immune compromised people

most people who have the flu have very clear obvious symptoms and are smart enough to stay home

Yeah OP what is this trash. I came in expecting a bloke decide to skip labor for a home swipetest.

[exxtracool]

being in a room when your wife is giving birth is pretty cucked itself... why the fuk would i want to watch my wife give birth?

[IlChosenOne]

Yeah I thought masks were the answer? That’s why we had to wear them in public for two straight years, right?

[Jasonw1178]

There are some people who are mentally weak so they are always insecure and immature making them afraid of everything. They aren't good at handling things or taking care of things themselves so they seek strong systems to assist them in what they need. They feel being fearful is a virtue they have no problem looking for sympathy. They talk about empathy and helping others but are very selfish in their own minds as an example his own fears of covid are more important than being there for his wife and what might be his baby.

Then there are mentally strong, confident, mature people who may worry like anyone else but they know they will get through it and often feel that assistance is interference. Even if they are scared they won't show it. They will know supporting their wife and child is more important than anything else and will fight anyone who is a threat to that.

holy **** I am glad some people are logical enough ITT about not exposing hospitals to just any disease for some emotional bull****


legit misc retards and their "just a cold, are you a man?" politically charged brains

I would expect in a non-Covid context a libtard to go overly emotional over "missing my kid's birth"

but lol @ making a thread on reddit about it

I gotta agree with this one. Forget it's covid for a second. Would you all go hold your newborn baby with the flu? I don't think I would. Miscers are retarded as f*ck. Even if any of you accidentally have kids you'll probably kill them quickly.

just lol. brb get sick as a parent...have to neglect newborn and let it die.

you realize you get sick all the time as a parent and have to still hold it, change it, feed it etc.

unless you have some killer virus (which covid is not) you are fine holding a kid.

The OP scenario is totally different, a baby just outta womb is weak, so is the mother.

And in the scenario you are describing if there is no choice due to logistics then it makes sense. But more realistically the other parent does the stuff when the other one is sick for a few days.

In contrast, removing yourself from an environment that must be sterile and where you shouldnt be anyway (if something goes wrong it is up to the people with training to help out).

Yeah, I dunno why this is the absolute expectation these days. No man truly wants to be in there. We should just come in when it's over.

[Derplington]

Jesus Christ misc is retarded.

Is the wife vaccinated and boosted?

It’s just out of the womb your potato. No one is suggesting parents don’t parent, but parents do take precautions. For example most parents don’t let others touch their baby.


Clearly your parents used you as a basketball.

Parents get sick all the time after they have kids, guess what, they still have a job to do. And the world doesn't stop because they have the sniffles.

Hell, when a kid gets sick, the whole family is gonna catch it. But I guess ****gggots like PS1, think the kid should be put in the garage till he gets better.
