WHO official site:

"FACT: People should NOT wear masks while exercising 

People should NOT wear masks when exercising, as masks may reduce the ability to breathe comfortably.

Sweat can make the mask become wet more quickly which makes it difficult to breathe and promotes the growth of microorganisms. The important preventive measure during exercise is to maintain physical distance of at least one meter from others."

So yeah, wear a mask in every situation, just don't exercise in it. Childbirth is extreme exercise.

i literally wear my mask for 1 hour of weights after 3 hours of swim practice...you'll be fine bb

You really must be trolling huh? If the disease was deadly for every single person who's caught it, millions and millions would be dead now. It's a virus just like any other that most recover from but some, the elderly, do die. I just do not see at all how on earth you could be claiming something so easily disproven! How can you cancel the experience of the millions who caught the virus? You're literally gaslighting them. Why would all the hospitals and doctors in my tiny ass irrelevant country be willing to partake into instating a new world order? This is absolutely absurd!

Let me humor you and pretend that everything you said is real. The cold hard truth: if the world powers *really* want to instate a new world order, do you think you can stop it, or that any of us could stop it? They have the power and they can do whatever they please whether we like it or not. Kim Jong Un could LITERALLY press a button and detonate half of the face of the planet. Why aren't you worried about that? There's absolutely no need for conspiracy theories like this because they advance nothing and offer no solutions. If you want to live out your life as a tortured soul convinced that the whole world is conspiring against him, then go ahead, but know your life will be miserable and fruitless. 

That is if you assume there is a virus. Clearly you do. Clearly I don’t. 

Ah, yes. I thought that’s what it came down to in the end. You think you’re powerless.

Ruining a special moment? I’m afraid not. What they are actually ruining is the woman’s health and thus the potential health of her child. Childbirth isn’t just hard, it is painful. You need all the oxygen you can so that both you and the baby are healthy and well afterwards. What they are doing is disgusting. If you honestly think traumatising these women during a painful period of their life is humane I have nothing to say to you. Distress during pregnancy and birth contributes to ill health in babies and post-natal depression which in turn damages the psychology of the child. 

Wake up.

Have you given birth before? How do you know what it’s like?

I am not anti-mask. I am anti-fascist. 

While I'm not keen on forcing a mask being worn during labor as I said...

 

For mask use in general, I don't know why ppl are creating fascism comparisons

 

Do ppl hate the idea of any level of authority so much now that even basic instructions during a pandemic can't be given without ppl going crazy about "their rights". 

 

Ppl gotta be reasonable. Society can't function if everyone can just do whatever they want with no accountability or hierarchy. We still need structure and government

Woman here: Patriarchy exists, regardless of who invented the birth control pill or tampons. 

The virus also exists. I know people who've died from it, and there are people on this forum who've had family members die from it, so let's dispense with the conspiracy theories. 

About the topic at hand: I'm not sure what the policy is where I live in the US, but I'm surprised that they're not performing rapid-results tests on people in labor. I recently had a family member in the hospital, and he was allowed to be maskless in his own room; he only needed a mask when he was wheeled in public for procedures, but obviously for certain procedures they had to remove his mask. As soon as he was admitted to the hospital, he was tested for covid, and the hospital staff is tested regularly. 

But I do understand the logic regarding masks. People in labor are breathing heavily, and thus spraying aerosols everywhere. I have never given birth wearing a mask, but I've done aerobic exercise wearing a mask, and it was fine. In cases where it's hard for the person to wear a mask, it seems like doing a rapid test would be a good idea, along with having the attending staff all wearing N-95s and face shields.

Nobody is dying from Covid-19. Have a nice day. 

You cannot be serious? Thousands of people are dying and you’re going to act like it’s not even happening? I hope you or no one in your family ever gets Covid and you don’t have to see the horrible things it does to someone.

I am not talking about rights. I am talking about responsibility.
