Hi all,
First time posting and currently 30+5 weeks with my first pregnancy (baby girl). I’m currently having a mini melt down and worried about my care since testing positive for covid…
Myself and a pregnant friend tested positive for COVID 9 days ago (1 day left in isolation). I have even really unwell, had a doctor out with anti sickness medication and suspected dehydration but didn’t have to be admitted in the end, still feeling unwell today so spoke to the midwife earlier who is seeing me Monday for my scheduled 31 week check up anyway. She just said to keep drinking fluids and keep on paracetamol and she’ll see me Monday post isolation as planned. However my friend who is also 9 days into covid positive but experiencing 0 symptoms and is only 24 weeks has had a midwife home visit today and been given an at home oximeter, blood pressure monitor and been prescribed a 10 day course of blood thinning injections as a precaution for any blood clotting? (Blood clotting has been linked to pregnant women recently testing positive with covid so they are treating this as a precaution).
I am so confused why my friend is receiving this treatment but my midwife seemed relatively unbothered by my positive result and the fact I am still poorly and I’ve been told to just soldier on basically? Has anybody else been given these blood thinning injections? I am confused why 2 pregnant women are receiving completely different levels of care and if I should be demanding more?
Please help I am so confused and worried for my baby :(
