38 weeks & 4 days pregnant advice..

[FirsttimemummyKLx]

Hi all I’m new to this.. just looking for some advice please, I am heavily pregnant and in isolation with my husband who is working from home, he has a 7 year old who (as we have shared custody) of goes between our home and his mums, now she she works in a care home & we know for a fact isn’t respecting ‘social distancing’ rules as she has her ‘newest’ boyfriend who does not live with her going over to stay every now and again! This worries me with being in contact with my husbands son and having the baby does anyone know if there are any rules on giving birth to newborns and them not being around siblings who don’t live with you full time? Any help would be great! Thank you X

There aren’t any specific rules and I think you could cause real issues if you prevent a 7 year old from having contact with her new sibling. I doubt she’d ever forgive you if you pushed her out at this time. I think you need to have a serious chat with her mother about how her actions could impact you though.

We do not talk to my husbands ex-partner we have a court order as she is quite frankly just hard to deal with at any time, she is fully aware I am pregnant and clearly doesn’t care. I am just worrying, maybe over worrying, it’s not that I don’t want my partners child to not meet his new sibling it’s just doing what is best for a short time while this is all going on! X

You could have the sibling move in with you guys and not visit his mum for a week or two; do your shared custody for full weeks for example.
