Hi, 5 months pregnant with hypertension here. I keep postponing the 5 month scan because my partner is worried about me contracting Covid-19 at the hospital and because of my high blood pressure I might get complications. I also have a 4 year old and we've barely left the house for 4 weeks because of the risks.
I really want to go because I also am 42 and have low PAPP-A levels(-0.34) which may be affecting the placenta and baby's growth. This scan will check that out too.
If I wear a coverall and mask and goggles/face visor with gloves and am careful I don't touch my face surely it's safe to go?I would be going to a London hospital so we are in the U.K epicentre of the virus. Anyone else worried about this and wondering whether they should cancel their scans?
