What happens in this situation

[notsureifiam]

My baby is fully breastfed and I have a young child (3). My dh has to work
I’m irrationally worried dh will get Covid from work and that out 3 y o will catch it- then be really ill.
If toddler was unwell and she had Covid would she be allowed to go to hospital with him as obviously I have to stay with the baby.
It’s just really worrying me (I have anxiety and possible pnd) and keep thinking of what would happen

Are you asking if your toddler could go to hospital with her father rather than you? If so why wouldn't she be able to?

I worrying over scenarios that may not happen my worry is Dh will get Covid from work what if toddler is then ill too would he be allowed to be the parent with her if he has Covid
Sorry it’s anxiety talking but I keep worrying

Does your toddler have a huge health weakness?

How old is your DH?

I think the bigger issue here is your anxiety. Are you seeking support for it? It’s very rare that children end up in hospital with covid - does your child have any underlaying health issues?

No if he was ill he would stay at home and you and the baby would be with the toddler but that isn't going to happen. Even if he catches Covid and passes it on the little ones will barely notice it. Try and rationalise past this particular fear if you can. I know it's hard. My head works the same way.

Hi op. Just came here to say that children are generally so resilient. In most cases he wouldn't even notice if he has the virus.
Unfortunately my little boy had a fall and on Xmas eve and he had to have an emergency op. My anxiety levels, as many of us atm, are sky rocket.
Firstly they put us on a room till he got his negative covid results. After the successful op and recovery ,they sent us to the children's ward.
Guess what, there weren't any children. They had two children in the whole ward in individual rooms. One who left before us. The nurse who was attending my son said the ward has never been this empty. She also said they hadn't had any confirmed cases of covid on the children's ward. Tbf the rest of the hospital is riddle with covid cases but the children's ward is not. So to me, as a mum, that's reassuring, hope this helps you.

Your 3yo will be fine, honestly. I have terrible anxiety too and come up with these scenarios but this one really won't happen. We all had covid weeks ago and the 2yo didn't even notice. Not a single symptom despite cosleeping and bf from me while I was delirious with fever and struggling on and off to breathe - surely must have been a very high viral load and the only effect on her was that she watched far too much TV and keeps asking for Bing in bed now. Even if your DH catches it's so so unlikely your little ones will get sick.

Your DH wouldn't be able to go if covid positive, no.

I understand that you're worrying. Try to write down all your worries and put the paper aside to stop them going round your head.

These are scary times, take good care and follow all anxiety/worry advice from a charity like Mind.

I’m just so full of anxiety 😞 have gp appt next week by phone maybe that will help
