Believe me, I get it. I kind of have preferred this myself. But for pregnancy, which is already a terrifying ordeal, consider:

- Can't go to the hospital for ultrasound or other routine procedures; the hospital is too dangerous. Gotta fly pretty much blind.

- Haven't met any other first-time parents, haven't been able to do PEP classes. We feel pretty alone.

- Going to need to take parental leave... indefinitely? Early childcare doesn't look like an option. But can we risk our jobs by taking a lot of leave? Maybe we have to.

- We can't see her parents since they work in the healthcare industry. She has a great relationship with her mom, so this is really tough while pregnant.

- Nobody really knows how bad CoVID is for a newborn, or what its effect on gestation is. It's easy to get sucked into spirals of terror about this. While we'd (probably) be fine if we caught it, the effects on the baby, even from asymptomatic infection, are unknown, and there are hints of brain damage which are _really_ scary.

So, it's pretty damn stressful, at least for us.
