Coronavirus Ruining Maternity Leave

[HollyT89]

I'm so upset - I feel like the virus is ruining my maternity leave. My family and I have been lucky so far and we're all fit and healthy (other than my asthma), but I'm devastated that it looks that I won't be spending maternity leave with my first and only baby as I'd imagined (already 3 months in)
I'm trying to rationalise that it won't change things that much, but I can't help how I'm feeling.
Is anyone else feeling the same way?

I feel exactly the same and I have been grieving the maternity leave I had in mind. It’s ok to feel sad, everyone has lost something during this pandemic, granted it’s not always family members but it matters all the same. Your feelings are valid.
