Hello,I am 22 weeks pregnant and have been following the guidelines of social distancing for 2 weeks now.Work have signed me off for 12 weeks so I am pretty much staying indoors other than the occasional walk.I have 2 children from a previous partner who haven't seen there dad for 2 weeks.Hes a bus driver and has family who work in a supermarket so is still around lots of people.My question is what should I do? I don't want to stop them from seeing eachother but at the same time am so scared the kids will catch something and be really poorly or they will give me the virus and potentially affect the pregnancy.I am so torn I just don't know what 2 do for the best.Thanks

If you have an access agreement with your DCs Dad then legally, you have to stick to it (assuming no-one is currently experiencing any symptoms). However, if you haven't already, you could speak to your ex and see what he thinks. He might agree that, under the circumstances, it's too risky.

Just bare in mind that this is likely to go on for a lot longer than a few weeks so it might not be feasible to keep the kids away from their Dad for what could potentially be months.

It is really anxiety inducing though, the thought of catching the virus at all, never mind whilst pregnant. It's not a great situation to be in x
