Would you postpone getting pregnant now because of Covid?

I have a number of friends who had grandchildren born this year. I think most of the young mothers were pregnant before the pandemic started. They were successful but it certainly adds to the stress. even things like who can come to the hospital with you are an issue. I just heard of another friend’s daughter who is 41, seven months pregnant and has Covid. I don’t usually give strong advice but if I were you, I would wait six months and then start. I think we’ll be in a better place then.

My half-sister had twins recently, and there were complications. The babies had to spend a couple of weeks in the hospital. I would definitely want to wait.

Even if you plan on having your babies at home (my sons were born at home) or a birthing center, things can happen and you may end up giving birth in a hospital setting, which is not ideal under the current conditions.

I’ve postponed getting pregnant – but not because of the pandemic ;)

I would postpone getting pregnant because of overpopulation of the planet.

If you feel time is running out I’d go for it.

Yes, although I’m blessed with several other factors which will assist the infecundity.

If you start now, by the time you actually conceive and give birth it will probably be the end of 2021, when we should be ok as far as hospitalizations of people with the virus and hospital issues. I’d go for it.

Thanks!
