Pregnant NHS frontline staff

[pincushion91]

I'm 15 weeks pregnant and a frontline NHS worker within Maternity. I have chosen to be non patient facing however as there are no non-patient facing roles in our department, they have sent me home on full pay. I feel so guilty about not doing my bit during the pandemic and I'm thinking of ringing my manager to go back. Is anyone else in the same position or have any thoughts on this? Thanks

I’m coming up to 8 weeks pregnant and I’m working as a medical consultant. I’m still seeing patients but have asked not to see covid or suspected covid patients. The department were happy to support this. I didn’t want to work from home for the next 30 weeks. Would drive me round the bend. I don’t think the risk is much higher than at the supermarket if you aren’t seeing patients with relevant symptoms.
