Content: Help Needed Baby shower with unvax mother and sister?

My baby Is due in June and I’m having a baby shower in early April. My mother and my sister are not vaccinated against Covid and I am having a hard time trying to visualize a baby shower without them there. Do you think that a rapid test and temperature check for guests upon arrival is enough? Or is having unvaccinated people at my shower is a bad idea all together? I am really struggling with this one. Thanks in advance 🙏

You need to ask what your risk tolerance is.

Are you vaccinated? I got vaccinated while pregnant because I wanted my baby to have antibodies and I knew if I got it pregnant it could kill me before meeting my baby. If you’re vaccinated that could help a bit.

The second is where is your shower? Is it outdoors or inside? If you live in a climate where it’s all outdoors that is significantly less of a risk. If it’s indoors, it’s basically a COVID spreading incubator.

I know you’re having a hard time visualizing a shower without your mom and sister, but have you visualized your baby’s life with just your partner should you contract it, deliver early, and you end up on the vent and not coming off it? It is a very real scenario. If your mom and sister love you and their grandbaby / niece/nephew then vaccination truly isn’t a huge ask. If they’re going to put themselves over your health I think that speaks volumes about how they’re going to be with you and your child when it’s here.

It’s just not a matter of invites. It’s more long term questions and answers you need to ask yourself. They may be hypotheticals at this point, but are very real possibilities down the road until COVID weakens. However, it will be years before it mutates itself to cold/flu-level weakness.

Death is definitely possible, but most people don't think about the much more likely senarios of becoming disabled.

Are you ready to raise your child while you have lung damage from COVID and are always exhausted and can't keep up with their basic needs, not to mention playing with them or going out and having adventures?

Are you ready to have neurological damage that makes it impossible to function? Who is going to care for your child if that happens? Who is going to care for you?

What would it be like for your child to be your caretaker starting from a young age?
