MIL works in nursing home

Kelly

So I am 31 weeks pregnant. Cases have been way down in my area, and I have started seeing close family and friends. Always outside, keeping a 6 foot distance. It has been a huge turn around for my mental health, since I was not coping very well with isolation and pregnancy. I finally get to show my belly off (at a distance of course) and talk about the exciting things to come in the next couple of months. One issue is my mother in law. She currently works at a nursing home that has a lot of positive cases. She works at the front desk, so literally everyone in and out passes by her every day and she comes within 6 feet of them to sign in, get badges, etc. I am so nervous to be around her. She doesn’t have any symptoms, and seems to think the virus is all overplayed in the media and not that bad. Which means she is probably not taking precautions like she should. She could very well be a carrier or asymptotic. She is starting to feel left out, because she sees pictures of my husband and I with our friends and my family. I feel bad she is missing the pregnancy, but am I being horrible by keeping her away? What about when the baby is born? Is there any safe way for her to meet and hold the baby? I feel so bad letting my mom be involved and her not.
