I'm due to give birth on 16th April and I'm petrified (UK)

I'm so scared, stressed and worried about the situation I'm in right now and feel the need to unload, maybe someone else can relate. Sad

I'm due 16th April (2 days after lockdown gets reviewed) and I'm getting so worried about a few things.

  1. I'm petrified of being told I won't be allowed my birth partner with me (my fiancée)
  2. Of being told I may have to have a home birth.
  3. Of being in the hospital where coronavirus wards are ( RVI Newcastle)
  4. Of letting people in my household hold/be near my baby.
  5. The fact the tenancy at our flat is due to end on this day, and now we cannot break the rules of lockdown to remove what's left of our belongings or fix any damages to retrieve our deposit.

Me and my fiancée moved back in with my parents (terrible idea, had long term depression when I last lived here, some reason I seemed to think it would be different this time round) in order to save for a house.
In the household there is now 2 under 16s (schooling at home)
20 year old working from home (not a very hygienic person)
My fiancée working from home (germaphobe)
Me (maternity leave also high risk with asthma)
My mother (ENT practitioner working in NHS hospital close contact with people)
My stepdad (also working up close in NHS hospital)

My mother decided to get a hair cut yesterday (ffs) after work, then headed to the shops for items I would consider non essential (bedding/stationary). She does not seem to take it seriously, she tries to hug me and touch my bump skin to skin and this makes me extremely uncomfortable... I want her to stay a safe distance away from me and my baby once we're home.
With them being in and out of high risk areas, and me being high risk, I don't want to take any chances.
I know I need to bring this up with her but she's a very passive aggressive person who has an extremely short temper. Sad
