@katiemate I know, right. I'm surprised how many downvotes I got for this. It's not like we are going to get arsey because of the rules, but it's absolutely heartbreaking not being able to witness this amazing milestone. Especially on your first child.

@sonnabendasw My god I hope so. I believe we only have one scan left. June 20. I'm nervous because it's not THAT far off... When considering the UK's stance on covid

@jbwatson30 Aw man. I really feel for you. Really, good luck to you. I'm sure it'll all be water inner the bridge the moment we see them and they melt our hearts

@klum787 And you, my friend

@klum787 Wow. Very good for her for saying that. But I'd highly doubt that anybody would be able to have a baby anywhere but other than a hospital at the moment. I think I would really appreciate her saying that, but if I can't go in, then (as heart wrenching as it would be) I will just have to...

@klum787 I am absolutely crapping myself about that eventually.

@klum787 I told my wife, if I can't go in for the gender scan, then she has to ask the nurse to write it down. Because so far I'm finding everything out after my wife. I want to have SOMETHING that we find out together.

@desmarie That was it. It was the first ultrasound I missed? Where do you live?

@jomo17555 It's my absolute fear. But that isn't until late October, so hopefully it'll all be good by then. I hope it relaxes by the time you get in there, too. Best of luck to you

@sanctify38 Ah! :(

@sanctify38 Is this the UK?

@billiejo Well, I was venting to my boss. He says it's standard practice, protection of nurses' employment rights and stuff like that. I'd have thought that the nurse might have let it slide... Given the circumstances. Just to get the partner involved

Thanks Covid-19. I'm not allowed into my wife's first scan for our first baby. She's not even allowed to WhatsApp video me. So I'm just sitting in the car waiting. But they're giving us pictures for free, which is something I guess. Edit: I've just been told that I'm also unable to go to the...

@lizlovesalotofthings We have the opposite problem. We are a bit in n' out, they will do everything they can to avoid you taking up precious beds. Sometimes it can be to the detriment of the mother/baby. Our system is good, but we rely on it too much. Not enough people get their own insurance.

@lizlovesalotofthings Out of curiosity, are you US-based? US birth is a lot more invasive and open to these practices because... I'm sure you know why. But we learned from our first pregnancy that establishing the weight of a baby before it is born is very much a dark art and HIGHLY inaccurate...
