Do you think we’ll go on national quarantine for coronavirus ? If so will we still be allowed prenatal appointments?

Question

If you live in Ohio like me you probably see it all over social media everyone thinks by Monday we’ll get ordered to quarantine at home, would this mean all prenatal visits would be cancelled? I have my first appointment scheduled at about 10w 3 days on the 2nd

Answer

No....Trump went on the  news to say we arent going go national lock down today. 
Also in the states that decided on lock down, people are allowed to go to the grocery store, Pharmacy, doctor, and basically anything deemed "essential". 
They arent going to force you in your house to starve.

Answer

Tbh my state isnt allowing anyone leave their house tomorrow but everything will open back up on the 30th of March so if you guys do go on lock down I don't see it being long

Answer

I'm in Ohio. There are no cases in my area - yet. However, all the offices in my area have already began cancelling appointments with the exception of patients 35 weeks or further. (Until today it was 32 weeks and further) my 6 week PP check up was even cancelled.
So I think eventually, all appointments unless high risk or extremely close to due dates will be cancelled. 
In my area, given yours would be your first appointment, it would be one of the first to cancel.

Answer

Most likely it would be cancelled, yes. My friends 36 week ultrasound was just cancelled and it’s scheduled for 4/13, we’re in Michigan

Answer

I think OB appointments would be essential so you would be able to go but I did read that they might not see you unless you’re over 30 weeks

Answer

I live in Washington on a military base and my prenatal appts are already gonna be on the phone. I won’t get a dating ultrasound and I won’t see the doctor until they don’t know when. So it’s basically like that already where I’m at.

Answer

I just had my 12 week appointment and they scheduled me not to come in for another 8 weeks unless something happens or what not. It’s such a weird time. I think it would depend on what kind of appointment you are having.

Answer

Oy, check your sources for news. We aren't going on national lockdown.

Answer

Depending on things they might cancel it unless you’re high risk I don’t see them keeping the appointment. My son was scheduled for his vaccines on April 1st at 9 month appointmentand it was canceled

Answer

I had and appt.for the 23rd which is Monday and they just called me today to let me know it will be canceled because of the virus concern ect.But at least they gonna  make a doc phone call appt still .
But for ultrasound I guess  they will cancel and reschedule.
