Hi i had a baby 15 weeks ago and I'm at the highest my weight has ever been now making my bmi 42 shocking I also have a autoimmune under active thyroid. I know my bmi now puts me high risk from corona virus but I'm worried with my thyroid too I need to be shutting up shop as it were.

I have two other children who are attending nursery and school should I pull them out now for my own health?

I know no-one can say what to do but in my position what would you do?

Hiya nettiboo1982 . I have a feeling the decision may soon be taken out of your hands anyway. Even if they are not forced to closed by the government I have seen emails today from my grandchildren's schools saying that due to staff sickness they will not be able to operate safely and may have to close. Do what feels right for you. Take care. Oh and congratulations!
