Grandparents coming from USA to visit new babies... Coronavirus fears

27 replies

I've got newborn twins who were born a bit prematurely at 35 weeks. I have been very strict about visitors, particularly in view of coronavirus but also general coughs and colds at this time of year.

The parents in law are due to visit from America in a month and have had the flight booked since before Christmas. They are coming for 2 weeks. But I am really anxious about them having come through airports etc, and normally I would ask anyone who has travelled not to visit us for a couple of weeks Blush
I have even asked my own parents to stay away for a bit after they went to a big exhibition in London last week. Am I overthinking this? I just feel that we can't be too cautious... If I'm not being unreasonable then how do I handle it? My relationship with the in-laws has never been brilliant and I can see a massive row happening if I'm not careful Sad

My DH has completely agreed with me about the visitor restrictions until now, but has suddenly decided that I am being OTT after I mentioned his parents' visit Hmm

I think the government will make your decision for you, OP.

Not being snarky at all - I just think that by the time the GPs are due to come, flights will have been cancelled anyway.

I haven’t seen any suggestions of cancelling US-UK flights. I think the time is past when that would be recommended. What would be the point?
