Hi,

I'm currently 16 weeks pregnant. Trying to find information but struggling a bit. Does anyone know the most up to date advice for pregnant women during Covid? Is it still advised to isolate from 28 weeks?

I'm currently working in the office and was asked to sit in reception to be an extra person. I'm not entirely happy about this anymore and especially since pregnant so I'm proposing asking to be moved back to my office where I'd be on my own. Wanting to get the most accurate advice so I can put that together

Unfortunately, us pregnant women seem to be left with no safety or proper guidance!!

Up to date info from Government & the HSE:

Thanks lovely. I haven't had a risk assessment from work yet (they have known for two weeks now) and just trying to approach in the best way for working back from my office

@willithappen they are breaking the law if they haven't risk assessed you. Especially if they've asked you to change your working practices (to reception rather than office) without assessing risk first. You are within your rights to refuse to work reception until a risk assessment has been carried out

Follow "pregnant then screwed" on Instagram- you'll learn lots about your rights and they have a free advice line
