Pregnancy Guilt

I am currently 11+5 days pregnant and feel so guilty for being pregnant. We conceived in February before the outbreak in the UK (but it was in China). I feel so guilty for getting pregnant and putting a strain on the NHS. I don't want to tell anyone I am pregnant (when we have the first scan) as I feel everyone will judge. Does anyone else feel like this?
Obviously it's not a great feeling as well as worrying about the general health of the baby and the coronavirus.

I would bet that 9 months after lock down there will be a surge in babies being born as everyone is so bored :)

I don't think you should feel guilty at all, as pp have said while altered midwifery service remain running, they are separate from ICU wards.

Congratulations on your pregnancy.

I think it'll balance out, dependant on if you've already got kids/todddlers/babies keeping you on the go 24/7....Got 1&2 year old Dds here, I'm far too knackered!

They're a joy though! Grin
