[quote=Anonymous]As someone who was pregnant during this whole thing and now has an infant during this it isn’t good time to be pregnant.  That’s just a fact. Both my pregnancy and my maternity leave were nothing like I envisioned and we’re mostly spent inside our house other than for doctors visits. It’s not shaming someone to make that clear at the outset so they understand what they’re dealing with and can manage expectations. As someone who thought they’d be having a normal pregnancy it was tough coming to terms with what being pregnant and delivering during COVID meant- no baby shower, no spouse at doctors visits, no spouse at sonograms, no family or possibly spouse at the hospital for delivery, delivering alone, no visitors once baby’s home, no one getting to meet baby other than a select few, no going to stores or restaurants, not seeing anyone other than my spouse for the last six months, being CONSTANTLY anxious about catching it and what that would mean for fetus. It was also tough to go for months with no one really having an answer about the possible ramifications for pregnant women. If I was just getting pregnant now I’d want my doctor to be straightforward with me so I could be informed and prepare myself for how different things were going to be versus what I might have been expecting.
