Pregnant on A Pandemic: 7th Month (Last Trimester)

I am now 7 months pregnant. On my last trimester of my second pregnancy.

I was supposed to document my pregnancy journey but because a lot of things happened, I never had the chance of doing it.

This month though is a big challenge. We are on a pandemic due to the Corona Virus outbreak or what is known as Covid-19 and what best way to remember this time is to write down my pregnancy experience on a pandemic.

Our city is on an enhanced community quarantine, something closer to a lockdown. We are all mandated to stay at home.  Although there is no evidence of pregnant women to be at a high risk of getting infected with the corona virus, pregnant women are still advised to stay at home because we have weak immune system.

Now that I am on my 7th month of pregnancy, I am a little bit worried because I haven't gone to my doctor for a pre-natal check-up. The last one I had was last month and I didn't go back on my scheduled date this month because of the enhanced community quarantine.

I am going through many different struggles this month and these are different from my first pregnancy. I didn't experience these things before and now I am a bit worried.

I'll talk more about my 7th month pregnancy struggles in my next post.

Well, as always, every pregnancy is a different experience. True enough.
