I'm due this week with our first baby and I feel worried but I don't know how much I need to be. I know all the evidence so far suggests that children, even babies are very unlikely to be affected badly but there doesn't seem to be much information about brand new babies. I'm not unwell but am staying home virtually self-isolating anyway purely because I'm just waiting to go into labour. Husband is still working but comes into contact with very few people in his job as he works in isolation.
I'm just not sure, once baby's here if I should be allowing visitors, going out to meet friends etc. or if I should just bring baby straight back home and lock the doors, at least until they're a bit older and had their immunisations etc.
What are other soon to be parents or soon to be parents planning or thinking? I don't want to be worried but I can't help it. We have a lot of lovely supportive friends and family who want to be involved and I know that's not something to take for granted but my main priority needs to be to keep little one safe as best I can.
