Any other pregnant healthcare workers?

[Begoniagal7]

I’m 12 weeks and bloody terrified of how much covid is going around. I’m triple jabbed and quite keen to avoid covid during pregnancy. Im 40 and had multiple losses. No one masks on transit, tubes and buses are rammed, patients refuse to wear masks, etc. My manager is aware of my pregnancy and supportive to an extent but I’m not allowed off from patient facing duties until 26 weeks. How is everyone else coping?

Hi. I am 24 weeks with a complicated twin pregnancy and working in health care, so have another 2 weeks of patient contact. I have just tested positive for covid last week but managing ok. I have been fine up to now though. And personally I am not looking forward to the none patient contact in 2 weeks, think I'll go mad. The risks of covid in earlier are really low its mainly in the third trimester. So glad I have covid now and not in another month

Hello,

I'm 29 weeks and work in the NHS.

You should get a pregnancy risk assessment in each trimester. Can you use that to mitigate risk without eliminating all patient contact? Mine included:

• not seeing unvaccinated patients
• not doing home visits (client group with risk of violence)

I'm quite like Donimo though - I have to work from home for the third trimester and I'm not looking forward to it at all! (Have some training for the next 4 weeks that puts it off a bit) I'm going to really miss the structure of being part of a patient facing team.

I'm 21 weeks and work as a nurse on the ward. Luckily I've got a really supportive team so anything to do with staff movement they volunteer themselves to avoid me moving, my risk assessments have been completed twice to see if anything's changed or need any adjustments and my clinical area I work in doesn't allow covid contact / positive patients, Could you ask for a re assessment of your risks as your a high risk pregnancy?
