Posted this in pregnancy as well but know this one gets more traffic!
Currently 16 weeks. Tier 4 area.
Dh and u have followed the rules to the letter pretty much since the first lockdown in March. I've wfh since then, dd(5) missed the last 4 months of nursery before starting school, have barely seen friends or family etc.
Dh can't work from home as his job involves him being out fixing things to keep infrastructure going (think road maintenance etc)
Dh tested positive for covid Christmas eve (test was then, got the results back yesterday!)
His whole workplace are pretty much down with it, it looks like one person on the team came in with cold symptoms and its ripped through the team
So far dh has lost his sense of taste and smell and is exhausted and struggling to get out of bed. No breathing problems yet.
He is now pretty much isolating in our spare room but seen as he was probably contagious for a few days before with no symptoms I'm convinced I'm going to get it.
Wondering if anyone else has had covid while pregnant or has any advice!
Should mention that unfortunately I also fall into 2 categories that put pregnant women slightly higher at risk - over 35 and currently overweight (was obses at the beginning of this year but managed to lose 4 stone since last January!) Am working hard to try and keep the weight gain to a minimum and am still running 30 mins a day (on a home treadmill so can at least carry this on during isolation)
