Unvaccinated mummies

How do you cope? 😥 I am currently 30 weeks along and unvaccinated. Hubby and I both agreed that I will go unvaccinated till birth but the number of unlinked cases now is very worrying. (and I'm someone who is rather chillax) My gynae isn't pushing for me to get vaccinated too. Hubby and I are home most of the time. We don't head out very much, not even for work. Only reasons to head out is for food, groceries or visiting both our families once a week for dinner. I am now seriously considering to cut off visits to our families as they are all vaccinated, hence the chances of them being asymptomatic is high. As much as my hubby and I exercise extreme precaution, we cannot control our families' daily activities and whom they meet. Is this too extreme? Ps. Please don't advise me to take vaccine as this will not be my plan unless gynae gives the green light. EDIT: Thank you all mummies for responding to my rant. I really feel so much better after knowing that some of you have also stopped visiting families, which means my request is not ridiculous. 🥲 Stay safe you all! ❤

I'm 18 weeks and unvaccinated as well. i asked my gynae twice and both times she recommended against taking due to insufficient data on long-term effects on unborn baby. due to the rising cases and unlinked cases, we also stopped visiting our families in the meantime coz like what u said, we can't control who they meet and where they go, and they are all vaccinated. it's definitely very hard but i think we need to take more extreme precautions if we are pregnant and unvaccinated. now we also try not to go out even for food and groceries. we try to order in for food and we always get delivery for groceries. but my husband does need to go to work so no choice on that. he will shower immediately when he comes home and limit interactions with his colleagues.
