Pregnant nanny and boss with covid wwyd?

[Samthenanny]

So I’m a nanny and 7 months pregnant boss has just messaged me to say his wife has covid and has asked where I stand about working?
would you go in?
she’s apparently isolating away from dad and the boys but we’ve been in this position before and the boys still popped in to see covid parent.
shall I go in still but ensure it’s full isolation for the mum and under no circumstances can the boys see her?
possibly ask for dad and boys to test every morning before I arrive?

if I wasn’t pregnant I’d go in and stay out most of the day but with this heat and needing the loo every 15 mins I can’t really be outdoors all day I think I’d melt!

Are you vaccinated @Samthenanny?

Have you had your vaccinations?

Pregnancy suppresses the immune system in order that the body does not reject the foetus.

No way would I go to a covid house when 7m pregnant.

I wouldn't risk it at 7 months pregnant

Don't risk it x

Don't risk it; as well as risks to you and pre-term labour, there are also neuro developmental risks to the baby emerging.
They have a duty of care to you as the employee.

I’m double jabbed yes just not had the booster

What did you decide @Samthenanny?

Why not boosted? For a start I'd go and get that done asap.

No I’d not go in, vaccinated or not it’s disappointing that the parents can’t realise that exposing a 7 month pregnant lady to COVID isn’t a good idea! Do they pay you sick pay or equivalent under these circumstances? If you weren’t pregnant and felt comfortable that would be a different story but I’m 7 months pregnant myself and wouldn’t be putting myself in the line of fire if I had the choice.

My nanny is not pregnant (as far as I know) and there is no way I would expect her to come into our house if we had COVID. It is a nasty disease and risks are greater if you are pregnant to you and your baby. I would definitely say you don't want to go in.

No, you should be at home on full pay.
please don’t go in, it isn’t worth the risk.

Don't do it.

why are people giving advice on a situation that happened 1m ago?

I wouldn't in the third trimester... when your own lungs are most compromised. It would lokely be fine, but I just wouldn't take the risk with the most precious thing.

@passport123 i didn’t get the booster as at the time I was offered it I had covid so needed to wait, then was pregnant and very poorly and suffered with bad side affects from my first 2 doses I just couldn’t make myself feel any worse than i currently did in the first trimester!

@PritiPatelsMaker i ended up going in but with a few rules, so mum had to stay up in the loft, have no contact with anyone else in the house and each morning before I arrived dad and children had to have a negative lat flow test.

It was unwise to swap long term risk againt short term side effects....
