[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s indisputable fact that now is not a good time to be pregnant and deliver. I’m due next week and the last 6 months of this pregnancy have been incredibly stressful and I dread bringing a newborn into this situation. Every time I have to go to the hospital or the doctor I have to worry about COVID. Or frankly, go to the pharmacy or even just go outside. That’s not personal OP. It’s reality.[/quote]

That may be the case, but unless you want me to get an abortion, I don't see the benefit in telling someone that. [/quote]

The flip-side to that is that the very liberal telework policies make this a very good time to stay home with an infant without burning through all of your leave/FMLA.

I don't really understand that earlier comment about being worried about everything. From your own perspective, you'd be worried about COVID regardless of whether you had an infant. The new factor is the infant herself/himself, and COVID seems to be less risky for children than the flu.  So from the child's perspective, it's sort of like having a baby in the winter- perhaps not ideal health-wise, but not something most people get too worked up about.[/quote]

You clearly haven’t read up on the virus in infants. [/quote]

I’m curious about where you’re reading up on ? Can you post?

I have a 4mos old. Our pediatrician was quite reassuring actually. Certainly no one wants to get it but she said the data is not giving them additional alarm with infants.

This thread is annoying to me. It’s very hard to be pregnant during Covid. For many many reasons. I know bc the world turned upside down when I was 32 weeks pregnant and I did indeed give birth without my husband. So perhaps let’s just try to support others going through a tough time.
OP - my OB was similar to yours and I didn’t mind it bc it was the truth. If this manner bothers you, I would think about switching. In the end when I was just with my Ob and not my husband giving birth, he was amazing and I’m grateful for his support, but he was always straight forward with me Without coddling me. What I realized is that these Obs are also going thru this unprecedented time and don’t have a ton of data .... it’s also not the easiest position. [/quote]
