Deliberate covid exposure/dying MiL/34 weeks pg

[RV12]

My MiL is very suddenly and tragically dying from cancer (diagnosed only 2 months ago). I am 35 weeks pregnant and live 4 hours away. She understandably would like to see me/the bump as there is real sadness that may not make it until the birth and I would like to show her love and support.
The dilemma is she has been testing positive for covid these last 2 weeks, albeit not showing symptoms. There was a negative test yesterday but today another positive - evidently she can't shake it due to immune issues.
I am feeling under pressure to go and visit (and stay with wider family all of whom exposed to it thr her this last week while on caring duties). I am anxious. But I am triple jabbed and healthy. Aibu if I hesitated??

That's a good point. Anyone pregnant at the moment and working in a school, hospital or public place (or living with someone who does) is more at risk that you would be visiting your dying MIL.

That is a ridiculous comparison and really NOT the same.
For many, work isn't a choice and an employer should be minimising risk by putting in a risk assessment.

This is a choice [ albeit a very difficult one]

It's not that difficult.

Work...? Visiting MIL on her deathbed...? I know which I'd rather take the small risk for.

I think you’ve made the right decision. Good luck with the trip.

Such a dilemma, but for me the only solution would be not to go. You would be putting yourself and baby at risk. It's a hard one, but a hard No.

@RV12

Thank you again. We are driving up now- and booked for hotel. Decision tipped by situation suddenly descending fast and I simply can't start expressing personal potential anxieties when H v distressed. And in context of other pg women with child age children/having to go to work as some have pointed out (I've been WFH, FTM and pretty safely isolated) I can see the risk is just something to cross fingers for (and mask up for!)

Sorry to hear she is worse, I hope you both had a chance to see her. I also hope your DH helps by keeping distance from the other relatives.

@SilverontheTree

She’s your MIL. Your DH goes obviously- it’s his mother. You don’t.

Video calls and send thoughtful small gifts.

if you catch it pre baby it won't be great.

Christ this is why you RTFT 😳

Sorry OP hope things go okay / as well as it can in these circs.

Really glad you decided to go OP. I don’t think you’ll regret it. X
