My DSD has been told to isolate due to a positive case in her school. She is at her mum's house at the moment.
I am currently pregnant and due shortly so I am obviously concerned. DH has agreed that even outside of the rules, it's important that we are careful with me.
However, he's said tonight that if DSD has a test that comes back negative, he is going to have her round as normal because that changes things and he doesn't care about the rules, he's not not seeing her if she's negative.
I think he's being stupid. As I understand it, even if you test negative, you are still required to isolate for the required time in case symptoms later appear. Just because you have a negative test on day 2 of isolation, doesn't mean you wouldn't get a positive one a few days later.
I'm not comfortable with this. I know he wants to see his child. But I also want to protect myself.
I know that DH and his ex won't care about the official rules if the test is negative though and contact will be expected to resume as normal as soon as a negative test comes back.
What do I do? Just let it happen? Or try and put my foot down? I don't want to seem like I'm trying to keep DSD away but at the same time I'm scared of the possibility of contracting this when I'm so heavily pregnant.
I feel like I'm being given no say in my own home and about my own wellbeing/babies wellbeing.
