[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We planned on starting to TTC #2 this month.  We are undecided still on what to do.

I think in 8 weeks when you would have a first appt, many areas will be relaxing social distancing.  Not full on but easing in.  That may lead to more cases and it may not.  I believe after 8 wks then you go again at 12 right?  So 3 months from now.  So that’s not a lot of contact during this time where we start to navigate a path back to a new normal.  I say all this as someone who believes we aren’t going back to an old normal.  That we are in this for 6-18 months.  By the time we would need more frequent prenatal care, we would know more about what measures need to be taken in our new normal.  It’s quite possible that hospitals will be in a better place then they have been the last month, even if we have a second or third wave.  We will know more.  But absolutely, there will still be risks.

For those that recommend waiting, I’d be curious to know how long you recommend waiting for.  When do you think it would be safe again?  A full 12-18 months from now?[/quote]

I would argue it'll be more risky in the next coming months. As pressure mounts to get people back to work they won't be giving any thought to high risk groups.

As for the poster saying there is no increased risk, you willing to bet your life and your unborn child's life know that? Check out the Mom in Baltimore forced to get a c section at 36 weeks and cannot see her baby for 4 weeks. Ask her how she's doing.[/quote]

Probably stressed but still thankful to have the damn kid vs waiting indefinitely.  And all the women that are having healthy pregnancies and deliveries will be glad they have theirs too [/quote]

She's not healthy, she's now fighting for her life. She had to deliver early to have a chance to fight off the infection. She was understandably a mess when they took her baby away. Now she gets to be in isolation in the hospital trying not to pull a stitch coughing.[/quote]
