Anyone else wish that we could have life back to what it was before Covid?

Question

Everything is so different now! But especially for us expecting mamas, it makes me so sad sometimes! Not being able to do certain things like a gender reveal party, baby shower, or feeling comfortable really out in public. I miss doing stuff and I’ve always dreamed of a “normal” baby shower or having a gender reveal! Along with that nobody allowed in to the appointments and doing it all alone is just very nerve wracking and lonesome!

Answer

The only thing I’m bummed out for is having to choose who will be in the delivery room with me 🥺 With my first, my mom helped a lot. She rubbed my back, talked to me, cut my babies cord, got me water, & a cold wet cloth. My spouse, he literally did nothing to help🤣 Maybe cuz my mom was there or idk. He didn’t even wanna cut the cord when the doctor asked him. lol I want my mom there cuz she was a great help & she made me feel like I could do it when I felt I couldn’t. But I also don’t want my spouse to miss out on the experience again lol. Feel like I’d be taking something away from him, hopefully things change by end of July. 🤞🏼 Anything else, I don’t mind going to appointments alone they’re pretty straight forward & quick. He comes to my ultrasounds. But yes, this COVID sucks! lol

Answer

Mostly. I do like that only one support person is allowed during labor and no visitors. 😇

Answer

The thing I like most about covid being around is being in line for something and people aren't right against your back you know? Lol I hope that stays around after 🤣 but I miss everything else

Answer

I just wish that my parents and kids could come to the hospital when I give birth to my third & I wish my husband could come to my OB appts. He is fully vaccinated and they said no, its policy. 🙄🙄 he seems so disconnected to this baby because he literally hasn't seen baby on ultrasound & heard the HB. Just sad. 😞

Answer

Some things yes, some no. I like that everyone at my company is working remotely now. I’ve been remote for 10 years but when others aren’t it can make the office environment difficult; jealousy, people talking about projects in the hall instead of including remote people on meetings. I LOVE the increased awareness of personal space and hygiene in public. I love the smaller crowds when out and about. I have enjoyed the lack of pressure to do social activities and be able to enjoy being a homebody with my family. My kids were home from daycare for a year and while it was tough with work, I got so much time with them and I miss them now that they’re back in. But I do miss feeling free to do things like the children’s museum, visiting friends and family, traveling, etc.

Answer

Almost my entire extended family never even saw me while I was pregnant. Only my mom, sister, and husband's parents saw me. The next time my extended family sees me, I'm just gonna have a several month old baby. 
It sucks, but I'll just be ecstatic to see them. I'm very close with my family. Typically see them like 10 times a year. Now I haven't seen them since February of last year, so 14 months. 😢
