Are you scared about coronavirus?

Question

I’m 20 years old, have a 2 week old baby and I’m beginning to get really scared. To top of how I feel, I’ve had a sore throat since yesterday & I’m worried I have the virus😢 self isolating starts now for me! Please help reassure me!

Answer

I am worried because I have asthma however I’m trying to be positive in the sense I’m young and otherwise healthy and I know the nhs are amazing. I’m more worries about my daughter but again kids are generally better with it. I have a feeling it’s only a matter of time as my husband is a gasman and is in and out not houses daily still and god knows who has it 🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

I’m not scared but certainly concerned. I’m 34 weeks pregnant with gestational diabetes and my eldest daughter has just finished chemotherapy for leukaemia. We are isolating at the moment as my second eldest has a temp, but all three of my girls have got snotty noses, absolutely streaming with cold. I’ve prepped my husband that worse case scenario will be he can’t be at the birth, at the moment it’s only him allowed.
It’s uncertain times and we have never had to experience anything like this in our lifetime, we just have to look out for each other. Don’t panic and in your case enjoy every moment with your newborn. You don’t want to look back and only remember feeling scared you want to remember all the amazing things that come with motherhood..... and newborn snuggles are the absolute best 😊

Answer

Worried because I am due in 6 days and I don't know how safe the hospital will be or how open it will be to non-COVID19 related things.
Got an 18 month old too, who does not like being couped up indoors and a husband trying to work from home too...stressful times ☹️
