[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not delaying.  The earliest I'd need any real prenatal care is 12 weeks from now.  I think if we're still doing this in several months, other approaches to delivering care will evolve (e.g., in home visits).  By the time I delivered the world will be substantially better than it is now.

I am sorry for those delivering soon - that sounds very stressful[/quote]

There is no evidence that anything will be better in 9 months and that's assuming you don't catch the virus in the next 9 months while pregnant and end of fighting for your life. Keep in mind pregnant women can take nothing when ill. All the experimental drugs are off the table.[/quote]

DP who is 40, here. If nothing is going to be better in 9 months then I'm better off taking my chances TTC now. I can't wait forever, and for all I know I'm asymptomatic now. Also, BS to "can take nothing while ill."

I take Covid very seriously, haven't been to a store in 3 weeks. But honestly IMO the bigger reason not to TTC this week is potentially having a Christmas / NYE baby. [/quote]

You say you take it seriously but are willing to risk your life to continue TTCing. At 40 you are absolutely in the age range that dies from the virus. The added medical appointments put you at risk of contracting it much more than today. It's a choice of course, but one that seems not the best.[/quote]

Not to mention the potential risk to the baby if you run a fever during this time.  [/quote]
