Hi all, I don’t know how to handle this situation with my husband because it gets so heated when we have this discussion.

My OB recommended that I shelter in place

starting 36 weeks just to be safe. No restaurants, parties, large gatherings, parks, etc. My hospital says if I test positive for covid, baby girl will be in NICU the few days we are there and someone that we trust needs to help watch with baby. I want to avoid this. Not only that, but of course I don’t want me or my husband to have covid to pass on to my children. It’s too much to be sick, have a newborn, then possibly make my two babies sick (I have a toddler).

My husband claims he is all about protecting us and agrees this is the best for our family. BUT he today said he’s going out with the guys to play soccer (he’s 27) and that’s about 10 of them at a park. You think with soccer there is contact and touching the ball..not to mention everyone outside with nothing to do the park is always packed. I told him I don’t agree with this and automatically got so defensive he cannot give up a game of soccer for the sake of the baby. He gets so butt hurt when I ask him to not play for a month or so ..he’s saying I can’t tell him what he can not do.

I gave up and just said “fine if we all get sick that is on you just remember that.” I am so mad I want to breakdown because I’m just trying to think of my family and he doesn’t care.

I am not upset because he is with his friends because he used to play soccer professionally and I always supported his hobby it’s just up until now with everything going on why can’t he just NOT GO?! Ugh . Please no harsh judgement and please don’t give me anything about covid not being real. But what do I do???

UPDATE**he is still going and I can’t help but bawl my eyes out. I am so stressed already I don’t want anything to go wrong giving birth and after. I have so much anxiety already and taking medication for it. I’m so mad he isn’t taking this serious. Because in the end, I will be the one as the mom doing it all and I don’t need the virus affecting my family
