Hi
I currently work in a private hospital and am 5 weeks pregnant. We have stopped doing private work and have nhs work coming through to us to help with the fight against covid 19.
Although the guidance says your safe until 28 weeks, I am concerned because I work in theatres and it is a high risk area.
I was going to be fitted for a FFP 3 mask but they told me I couldn't because I'm pregnant, so that takes me out of clinical work anyway. But I still have to go and support with admin work? If I choose to go off work to protect my baby I don't get paid which at the moment isn't an option ( please don't judge me I have to keep a roof over our heads and food in the cupboards)
What have the nhs put in place to protect pregnant staff before 28 weeks???
