@WrongKindOfFace

Employ your mum to care for DS and your home becomes a workplace. The virus therefore knows not to enter and you can have as many people as you like round.
Amazing! Grin

I think as long as you don't cut the umbilical cord until after the party you will be OK.
Just a bit of a nuisance waddling and lugging an attached baby around especially when you have to nip outside for a smoke.

Does a general intention to start a family count as a person for the purposes of the six person rule? Asking for a friend.

This cannot be serious.

No. No it doesn’t.

Also, the midwives would be working so wouldn’t count even if your baby was born.

I wonder if they become a person when they crown?

Grin Just wear a mask down there instead of pants. Hey presto, when baby comes out it'll be instantly COVID ready.
