London, birth, CV

[Greenwhale]

Due to give birth in about one month's time in London where myself and DP live. All of our family are up north though so no support around here (they were planning to come down for different stints during the months after birth). Are we crazy for sticking it out in London through the current CV situation at the moment or should we seriously think about moving back in with parents up north for a few months?

Moving back with your parents is probably much worse given the need for social distancing and them being older/ more high risk etc.

My partner just overcame CV and I'm currently showing symptoms that it's coming on. When I spoke to the midwives after my partner getting it they said it was probably safer for me to stay with him and get it (Even though I'm pregnant) than it is for me to go to my parents and potentially giving it to them.

It's extra scary being pregnant right now but I've just learnt to compartmentalise and become more fact focused.

Good luck with everything!! Lots of love and good vibes to you xxxx
