To feel totally paranoid about covid during pregnancy

During the 1st lockdown in March, DH, DS and I moved in with my MIL. We stayed until restrictions lifted and everyone returned to work (although I worked from home throughout)
My husband works in construction, largely outside but with 2 others in the lorry to the job and back every day.

DS is now at nursery 2 days a week and one day a week MIL looks after him.
MIL lives with my sister in law and brother in law who have partners and all going to work.

Essentially I’m the only one who is at home (apart from taking DS to nursery and picking him up)

Lately my anxiety has worsened, I’m worried about harming my baby but also know how beneficial nursery is for DS.

DH is main bread winner so doesn’t want to take time off, MIL doesn’t want to stop looking after son.

Is there anyone in a similar situation? I’m healthy, young, marginally over weight 😅 but still worried about how this virus may affect me and my unborn baby.

It's more of a worry now with cases going up...but I am still not that worried as the risk of getting severe problems from covid is low for pregnant women. (Much lower than the elderly and other underlying conditions) I haven't decided whether to take my toddler out of nursery in the 3rd trimester but currently I am happy with that risk.

Thanks snacksizeraisin
I wasn’t this worried in March, just feels like it’s closer to home at the moment with lots of family and friends getting ill!! Appreciate your reassuring words
