If you are pregnant and with this corona are you still going to the shops etc? I have been social distancing since last Monday. Thursday I had to take my little one to doctors 5 minute walk from the house and back Friday my oh had a mri scan didn't want to go his self so me and little one went but stayed in the car didn't go near hospital. But that's all we have done we do need some fresh stuff and oh is going after work but do kinda feel like if this continues I won't actually get out if we go on lockdown as only 1 person aloud out per shop! He drives so makes more sense he goes but other than that what can me and little one do is it safe for us to go before it all goes into lockdown and we are in for a longer time?

I’m concerned about getting exercise & fresh air while pregnant. I’ve been happy with my weight so far, and don’t want to pile it on in the third trimester.
Last week, I went to the local shop a couple of times. Walked on a quiet beach. But now that things are escalating, I’m staying in.
I live in the tourist area of a big city, so the place is deserted. I’ll get put for a walk, at least. Our local shops are fully stocked, but I’ll leave it up to DH to get food.
Appointments & antenatal classes will be coming up for me soon, but will just have to see what happens...

I've been on walks during the week and haven't seen too many people around really. Not going to go shopping though.

Im 32 weeks. Haven’t been out much at all. I really need to get some stuff for the hospital bag (gave DH a list but he came back with some interesting substitutes for maternity pads....!!) but I’m worried about going out. I also have weekly consultant appts at the hospital that I would really rather avoid.

I'm 13 weeks and went shopping with my partner yesterday. We just made sure to take some hand sanitiser in the car and use that when we were done shopping and to not stand too close to anyone else or touch anything I didn't need to

I want to try and get out for a bit of exercise, on my bike or just for a walk but mostly I'm going to see how things play out and mostly stay home.
