Covid in pregnancy

Has anyone ever had Covid while pregnant before? I think I have it, i did a test this morning which at first looked negative but later turned positive (not the kind of positive I want 😂), I’m hoping it’s just an evap line. But I’m so worried about getting ill and it hurting the baby, I’ve read covid can affect us much more when pregnant. To make it worse I’m due to have a private scan Sunday and my first midwife appointment Monday so both of those will need to be postponed as I wouldn’t want to risk anything around other pregnant ladies. I’m already so anxious after having a miscarriage in June, this will just make me 10x worse! I’ll do another test to make sure and will phone the hospital for advice if it is positive

I think you should ring the the maternity unit and let them know how your feeling hun! And after your Covid is over, get the flu jab maybe? Xxx

I had COVID when I was pregnant, it was really rough. Look after yourself xx

@Shelly yes definitely, I get a flu jab free from work so I always do it and I never get sick, just left it too late this year 🤦🏻‍♀️ I thought I wouldn’t be able to get the jab being pregnant, stupid of me to assume that! X

@Laura thank you, I was completely fine yesterday and woke up this morning feeling awful so I think it’s going to be bad 😭 x

I had Covid when I was 16 weeks pregnant back in 2021, it was really tough going. I could only take paracetamol and it wasn’t fun when all I wanted was a lemsip drink🥲 They always sort me out! I lost my smell & taste then and it didn’t come back until year and a half later🫣 My wee boy is 3 in December but absolutely perfectly healthy, it was probably a good thing for him as some of the antibodies would have been passed onto him as well x

I did quite early on in my previous pregnancy, all was fine! 😊
