Should new mums completely self isolate for 12 weeks ?

[Babyg1995]

Please no nasty comments saying I should know this as I've tried to ask my midwife but she's off what's the advice for new mums and baby's I had my baby on Monday via c section we are doing brilliantly since the birth no symptoms of the virus either nor does anyone in house hold the question is can I go a walk for an hour with baby in pram ?

Yes you can go for a walk, and it's important for your mental health that you do.

Thank you for your reply that's what's worrying me not. Getting out the house expecily with a new born .

As long as you maintain social distancing and keep you and the pram 2m away from others, you will be fine. Go out once per day for a walk and enjoy the warm weather!

I would go out for a walk, but I would also isolate in that I wouldn't take baby or myself to a supermarket etc, or meet other people.

Baby due here soon, I don't really know what our plan is for the next few months, but I think we will be extra cautious where possible. With just Dh popping out for food and essentials, and us all keeping our distance from everyone in general. But will take baby out for walks, and off further for drives and walks places later on if restrictions lift overt he coming weeks. Not sure about letting other people near baby as time goes on. Its all a bit awkward isn't it.

Thank you for replys yes it is awkward with other people not being able to see baby I only plan on a walk no going out to shops or anything my partner does that on his own for essentials I just really need fresh air and out the house.
