I really think that the insurance policy given by mediassist is way more expensive for parental insurance, means who will pay for 50k+ premium and that too for large copay, I guess the leadership team should intervene here....Parental insurance is really important for any employee and most of the time is only needed.
Recently I used parental insurance and found that the insurance company only paid for 50% of the total bill.

Quick update - Today is day 5 since wife tested positive, her symptoms are fading away. Even at her worse (day 3), she only showed mild to moderate symptoms, similar to a mild cold with runny nose and some fatigue.
We had our doc appointment this morning, everything checked out as normal. Ultrasound was normal, placenta function and amniotic fluid levels were normal, and non-stress test results were normal as well. We will be going back next week to make sure the baby’s growth rate is as intended.
Big relief with some key takeaways for anybody that might find themselves in this situation:
1. Being vaxxed definitely helped A LOT. We were contemplating if wife should get her booster while pregnant, I’m glad we chose to get it
2. Even if you test positive, there’s no impact to the baby as long as mother doesn’t show severe symptoms. If symptoms remain mild to moderate, you’ll generally be fine
3. Don’t panic! It’s highly possible that you’ll exacerbate the situation by panicking. Drink lots of fluid and take as much rest as possible
4. If eligible and easily accessible, take the monoclonal antibody treatment. It provides an extra boost to your body to ensure your symptoms don’t get bad and there’s practically no impact to the baby
Appreciate all the comments and good vibes!
Tested positive for COVID at 26 weeks and I approve this message.
The fact that she’s vaxxed is great for the babies who also have protection now. You should be fine - the pregnancy complications we see in the hospital are 99 percent unvaxxed.
Had covid at 6 months pregnant - healthy 9 month old baby now and fairly certain he's stocked up with antibodies - my personal take (not a doctor) is this is a best case scenario, fetus gets all the benefits of antibodies without getting sick (mom is taking the brunt of it and baby is well protected assuming fever stays on the lower end)
Sharing my experience.
Had tested positive for COVID with mild symptoms, 10 days before my delivery in April 2021. In family, my husband and MIL was also positive at the same time. My water broke at home early morning around 4am. We went to the hospital and asked for the doctor I was regularly going. The Doctor was not available as she was also positive. Another Doctor told to do c-section and not handled this operation because of positive case and referred to another hospital which is 1.5 hours away. No ambulance was ready to come immediately. Arranged personal vehicle to reach to that hospital (I was dying with labour pain all the time). That hospital again referred to another hospital because of positive case. It again took 15 mins to reach to that hospital. Two ward boys helped me and took me to the operation theatre which was for deliveries of positive women. By the time we reach to OT and they put me on OT table, I felt breech. And shouted to call doctor. One ward boy ran and came with some nurses. They asked to push and within 2-3 pushes I delivered. It was 9 am and I delivered a healthy baby girl. They took sample of baby for COVID on second day, two times, both the times the sample collected was somehow wrong. On third day, sample collected, and report was negative. There were other 9-10 women with positive case, but their babies were tested negative and were healthy.
I hope everything will go smoothly for you and your wife. Good luck!!
The same question gives me tears whenever I think of it. Not sure what would be the situation.

Not at 35 weeks but at 20. My OB put me on a baby aspirin daily to manage inflammation. In more severe covid cases moms have had their placenta become inflamed which has led to premature birth. At 35 weeks baby would likely be just fine but maybe ask about this anyway?
Thanks EY1. My wife has actually been on baby aspirin throughout her pregnancy. As an extra precaution, she even went through monoclonal antibody treatment yesterday as per OB’s recommendation. This was to ensure her Covid symptoms don’t get worse. So far so good but we are still nervous.
This is my worst nightmare (currently 25 weeks, vaxxed and boosted) but it sounds like you’re doing everything right and at 35 weeks as long as you’re keeping doctors close and keeping super close tabs on how everyone (wife and baby) are feeling you should be fine and baby will have good antibodies! Good luck!!!
