Any other March momma's depression and anxiety super high now with all this isolation stuff? As of we aren't isolated enough with a new born 😭😭

Question

Answer

I am more anxious that tomorrow I will be 39 weeks and I am still required to work, as a nurse. They keep changing our PPE rules because there is a shortage of PPE everywhere. I am afraid we will run out and I won’t be properly protected. I asked my doctor to take me out of work but he refuses, and  according to our hospital policy I have to work up to delivery unless I have a doctor’s note. I have never been more stressed in my life.

Answer

Yes I'm very stressed at the moment. Our state is on stay home order so no family meeting the baby or helping with my other baby so I'll be alone right away (my husband lost any time off work). I'm also high risk for postpartum hemorraging so I'm not sure how I'm going to take it easy with 2 under 2, also low on essentials..I went from wanting the baby here asap to dreading having a newborn now 😭

Answer

I feel the same way. I mean I was planning on staying mostly in for the first few weeks but it’s different now that it’s mandatory. It’s also a bit stressful because I live in California and there are a lot of shortages of essential items in our stores and the constant negative news is getting to me. I am praying that the least amount of people are infected with this stupid virus and the isolation can end soon.
