So i have a question (or two)...
As a pregnant woman, why exactly am i "at risk"? Is it because my immune system is lowered, or because the 'virus' would spread to baby? Or both?
I mean, is it that i'm more likely to catch it than non pregnant people, or that it's more dangerous if i do?
Baby is due in December, and apparently we should be getting ready for it being much worse in winter - should i be considering a home birth, or is that ridiculous?
My thinking would be that it's surely better for me to have it whilst pregnant, than just after giving birth (which a link on here said 2 women have died from it just after giving birth) and baby getting it whilst newborn?
Anyway i'm not donning the face masks or anything, but i've not showed too much interest in this so far as i have tried not to get lured into the media scaremongering. However i do think it's likely i'm going to get it, with a 6 yr old back at school next month, and i have visions of the hospitals being full of contagious people when i go into labour
