I think the government needs to give us more information on why ya pregnant women are now all of a sudden high risk!
I also want to know why it’s gone from ‘having very little effect’ on pregnant women to now high risk. I have 6 days of work left before my mat leave but I’m not going in. It’s a very public facing role so not worth the risk to me. Plus pregnant women have been advised to stay home for 12 weeks so surely that includes work x
I've been advised by my employer to stay at home and wait for further guidance indefinitely. I think we should be taking it seriously now. Yes it's terrible and things are going to be bad for a lot of people. But aren't our babies and our families more important?
I totally agree, the media has a lot to answer for. But our measures are currently less stringent than many other countries, and I wonder why that would be the case. I'd rather follow the advice, look after myself and my little peanut. I had a miscarriage last year, me and my husband are prepared to do what we need to in order to stay safe and keep our little baby growing safelyTaking it seriously for at risk groups, definitely. I just don't want the whole country to go into meltdown. People are already panic buying toilet paper and hand sanitiser. We can't let that kind of fearful attitude become the most prevalent one and I'm worried the latest announcements are just going to encourage more crazy behaviour.

My mum was repeating biggest fear to me.. oh you dont want to be induced baby wisked away on a ventilator and you told not to go near it or see it etc.. i mean
