Will they take my baby away if I'm sick during delivery? I've had a cough for a few days (developed while I was in the hospital). Now, I not only have the cough, but a sore throat and missing voice as well. I'm terrified they won't let me keep my baby girl if I'm sick. Should I go back to the hospital today for being sick? Or just wait until Wednesday when I see my OB. Or should I go see a regular doc?? Hopefully DH will be home soon and can call my OB after hours number, since I can't. Any suggestions are helpful!

I would highly doubt they would take the baby away and best if your breastfeeding to feed baby as this is the way you protect baby by passing on immunities.
If they do mention taking baby I would seriously question them as to why and what they are planning on doing to babe that you can't do while she/ he is in your care.
I ran a fever while delivering my son and his heart rate was 180 for almost an hour, I had antibiotics and walked the whole time in laboured this helped get the drugs in my system fast and bring little mans heart rate down. No one ever mentioned taking him from me. And If they did or tried I would have Refused.
