Could do with some advise please.
Im 39 weeks pregnant, due to give birth soon (even thought I was in labour this morning but it turned out to be braxton hicks) and I'm just really stressing over this covid-19.

My partner has 2 kids from his previous marriage, and has them 3 nights a week. (both under 10) and he's just been told today that his place of work is shutting down for the forseeable future and so will be home self isolating with me. The kids have been coming and going this week, the little one is still in nursery but the older ones school is shut.
The little one had a really bad cough last week but no temperature.. And she was literally coughing on everything without covering her mouth. (which I kept asking her to as well as washing her hands thoroughly) she's fine now and the cough has gone. But my issue is.. When the baby gets here....

His ex wife is still working. She's back and forwards to her boyfriends house and around her boyfriends kids. Her own kids are back and forwards to thier grandparents and god knows who else when she goes to work. And I'm terrified that they're going to bring something into the house and potentially infect the baby.

There's so much scant information about kids and babies and the virus but this week I've seen so much more kids being sent to hospital with confirmed cases and they're really ill. I don't know why the hell she's not pulled the little one from nursery and have no say in anything to do with the kids.. But I don't know what to do for the best? Do I take my newborn and go to my mums house and self isolate there so my boyfriend can still have his kids over on his set days? Or do I ask him to ask the ex if she can keep the kids in one place for a little while so it reduces thier risk too? Panicking and paranoid.
