I have the most awful cough, seems to be quite throaty but definitely feel tightness in my chest.
My whole torso is aching from all the coughing, particularly the top of my giant bump.
I last night I coughed so much I was sick. It's the type of cough that seems to get me and then I can't catch my breath which makes me cough more! It's getting to the point where suppressing the cough to avoid the jolting and force on my body is making me breath slightly more shallow which is then making me feel knackered and then results in more coughing... can't win.
I'm a teacher (not working for home as am an upper school teacher so apparently can socially distance, lol). Ive tried the last 36 hours to book a pcr test but the only options I had were to drive 1hr15mins away or get a home test (or try again in a few hours for a test closer by). I had a home test last year and it took ages to arrive and then to get the results so I wanted to avoid this but ive had no choice but to get a home one now which should arrive tomorrow.
Have done several lateral flow tests, all negative.
I guess it's mainly a rant for how crap I feel about everything, let alone being worried I'm starving my unborn baby of oxygen! If I'm feeling like this, it's got to be impacting baby somehow, surely?
