I give birth over six weeks ago to a beautiful baby boy and me, him and my husband, his dad have pretty much been in isolation since lockdown started. We have a daily walk each day but that’s it. We click and collect our shops and stay well away from everyone, including friends and family. It’s just the three of us and that way we feel safe. I’ve also been in hospital several times with pneumonia over the past few years and it was quite serious three years ago when I was off work for almost four months. I’m not worried about me though, I just want my little boy to be okay.
I know most research suggests he will be but my husband’s work are insisting he comes back from furlough next week and I’m really worried. They can’t guarantee social distancing and I’m so stressed he might pick something up and get ill and/or bring it home. Some days I think he should just quit but realistically we can’t afford that and he likes his job.
I don’t know why I’m posting, possibly hoping for people to reassure me babies will be fine. I’ve spoken to the doctor and health visitor and both try and reassure me but to little avail.
