HERE HERE! Imagine if you had just found out you were pregnant as lockdown started!
I find it bonkers that some women who left work in March may have found out they were pregnant shortly after.... next time their colleagues see them they could have a one year old baby. Or first time mummies who had to do the complete unknown largely alone They are the ones I really feel for, first time mums who didn’t have that vital support in the early stages of new motherhood - it’s tough!
This is me!
I had a miscarriage the week before lockdown and fell pregnant immediately after. I’ve been pregnant since lockdown officially started.
I started working from home the week of the miscarriage so haven’t been into work since. I’m currently on flexi-furlough too so when I go back to work I will have had 18 months off!
My husband works for the NHS so has been working throughout everything and we also have a 2 year old.
I haven’t been able to properly share my pregnancy with friends and family or seen any of my work colleagues (some went back in before this lockdown but I reached 28 weeks and wasn’t allowed onsite)
Its mental!
