Yes, I am still in contact with her on the phone and video calls etc so that isn't an issue.
My partner is in her third trimester with only about 7 weeks to go, so this time is critical.
Yes, my child's mother knows that she is pregnant but she seems to not want to heed the Government advice.
I think the most common-sense thing to do is to stick to saying no with the concerns clearly highlighted, and come to an agreement of when to make up the time missed after the 14 days has passed.
Thanks all.
It's good to hear you are still in contact via phone/video calls and I think you are being most sensible to continue following government guidelines, especially with your partner being in her third trimester.
Hopefully you can come to an agreement to make up missed time especially with children off from school - but if not, it's so minor missing one contact as a one off especially given the circumstances!
Keep safe, and hope all goes well with your partner.
Thanks all, we've managed to come to an agreement and she apologised.
