Hey Toniboy; What does this friend have that she is in the hospital? You are right in wanting to protect her from millions of germs; understand that her maternal instincts are kicking in and she wants to take care of everyone. Have her discuss the issue with her doctor (so you aren't the bad guy) and if doc says it's ok recommend surgical mask and lots of hand washing. If you think this is bad; wait till the end when she's nesting and decides to pull out the oven and refrigerator to clean behind them! Try to be patient and caring, good luck! I survived two pregnancies; don't forget although crazy, the pregers are pretty resiliant!
