Are you taking a TTC break during the midst of Covid?

Question

I live in Florida where the cases are stacking up 10,000 a day now, and I’ve made the decision to wait so that my husband could come to appointments with me and because I don’t want to get sick or hospitalized while newly pregnant. I’m just wondering who is in the same boat, and how you are handling waiting?

Answer

If I still lived in Florida, I probably would take a break for a couple of months.
I moved out of Florida (where I was born and raised) back in 2018 and moved to Colorado in a very rural area where we’ve had fewer than 5 cases in our county. I’m not concerned about my risk level here. Especially since our state’s total number of cases has been well maintained due to our Governor’s quick and careful action. 
In Colorado, we have fewer cases across the state since the beginning than Florida has increased in the last few days. 
I feel comfortable continuing to TTC in Colorado. I would NOT feel comfortable in Florida. I’m very concerned about my mom, who still lives there. But I know she’s taking it very seriously, even more than I am, and she never leaves her house.

Answer

I live in Florida and I am 25 weeks pregnant trying to be extra cautious due to the rise and now the CDC has classed pregnant women as high risk. Covid 19 can attack the placenta and the stress of a ventilator can cause preterm labor.
