Are you extra cautious about covid 19 because you’re pregnant?

Question

Answer

Kinda- still going to the grocery store but not seeing people other than immediate family since my mother in law lives alone and my parents live with us but not seeing friends or anything...... still going to the hospital for doctors appointments can’t avoid it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

No, because I’m a hospital OT in rehab (essential) and still required to go to work. My toddler is still in daycare and my husband is a pilot and also essential. Staying home only on weekends for us. I found out I was pregnant just before pandemic hit in US. I’m 14 weeks now and feel in the clear thankfully now!! The virus doesn’t worry me anymore, our economy picking back up is my worry. I don’t want my husband to get furloughed cone Oct 1 right before our son is born beginning of Nov. that’s my only fear!!

Answer

I’ve been told by two separate OBs to simply follow what they are telling everybody else so I’m not being “extra cautious”. The biggest thing they’ve found with pregnant mothers is the risk to the fetus during the first trimester because of the way high fevers effect things in early pregnancy. My doctor literally told me he was more worried about his patients getting the flu because it was rampant here when all this Covid stuff started where Covid wasn’t yet and the flu brings high fevers as well. I’m just following the guidelines they are asking everyone else to follow 🤷‍♀️ If I lived somewhere it was a huge problem, I might feel different but we just aren’t seeing it here like others are.

Answer

I’m cautious, but not because I’m pregnant. I have a 1 and 2 year old so I do it for them. My husband is the only one who leaves the house (work, groceries and food runs). I have my first appointment next Friday (I’ll be 12 weeks) and I hate knowing they’ll be in the car ride home cause I’m worried I’ll expose them to something, not necessarily corona virus but considering me and my boys have been in the house for 8 weeks, their immune systems and mine are weakened. I fully intend on showering completely after my appointment. Some people may consider it extreme, but I can not even imagine how bad I would feel if they get sick.

Answer

Still seeing people but always outside and with masks on!

Answer

Trying to keep my distance out in public but I work in healthcare so I still have exposure to the public daily. I see immediate family but that’s it.

Answer

Trying to be, I’m a PTA in the rehab department of a SNF and home health. Trying to follow proper PPE guidelines but I actually already got it from work around Easter. Still stuck in quarantine as I have retested 3x over a month period and still coming back “positive”

Answer

I just wash my hands more often. My ob said keeping distance in stores and sanitizing often is just fine. Nothing extra needed. I have been working this entire time, still have yet to wear a mask🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

To the people who said no, please be more responsible for your unborn childs sake? 😷😥 Taking precautions can only help, even if you find them an annoyance...
