Are pregnant NHS staff working frontline?

Exactly as the title says really. Are pregnant NHS staff still being asked to work frontline? Luckily I've been very well supported and my role as a nurse has been made into an admin role from home for the foreseeable future. Wondering where others stand?

I'm 19 weeks and an oncology nurse. I'm still expected to go to the hospital but I'm non-clinical - doing the admin/telephone assessments etc. from an office on the chemo unit. From 28 weeks I'll be allowed to work from home. My colleague was working on the unit (though non clinical like me) up until 32 weeks - she had to push to be able to work from home, management didn't suggest it despite it being on the Trust's Covid-19 webpage. They seem to have accepted that I won't be coming in after 28 weeks (unless the recommendations from the Government and Royal College of Obstetricians and Midwives changes by the time I'm 28 weeks). Another one of my colleagues is nearly 28 weeks and isn't planning on working from home, she's happy to keep coming in to the hospital and continue working there in a non-clinical capacity.

I'm in a MH medium secure unit with confirmed COVID cases of both service users and staff.
All pregnant staff were sent home as high risk for 12 weeks when lockdown was announced.

I worked up until 28 weeks then was sent home as trust won’t allow pregnant staff to work beyond 28 weeks just now.
