Am I going to die :(

[Iwannabelikeyouohh]

My husband has just had a positive LFT.

I’m absolutely petrified. I’m extremely obese with a BMI of 40.

I am fully vaccinated but I have had two different vaccines. 1 AZ and 1 Pfizer.

I feel physically sick with worry. 😓

I cannot isolate from my toddler. He’s still breastfeeding.

Ah, sorry, I missed that. DH should organise all other aspects of childcare to give you a well-needed break.

My gap was 12 weeks. It was an odd and specific situation.

Sorry to hear ds is positive too. How long til DH is done?

Just looked back - he tested positive on 8th so he'll be out on 18th.

I'm glad you didn't go on holiday!

Isolate from your ds as much as possible - windows open, wash hands, wear a mask when feeding him?

OP please don't isolate from your son! That poor little boy, he already has one parent hiding from him. You will have been exposed plenty now, isolating isn't going to change that but it will mean everything to him.

DS that's breastfeeding is positive? That's actually good for you and he will benefit too. Him breastfeeding will kick in your antibodies from the vaccine so it's likely your body will be starting to create an immunological defence now which might actually prevent you getting it and will certainly help it you do get it. The vaccine also creates antibodies will pass to breast milk so will help his recovery too. . I never got bugs from my DS when I was breastfeeding.

Him breastfeeding will not make you produce antibodies, how on earth would that work?
Him having Covid will.
Yes you will pass on antibodies through your breast milk.

Oh wow. My brother and sister in law are positive too.

Honestly shows how easily this spreads.

I’m definitely going to get it now.

How do you work that out? So many pp have said they didn't even with others infected in the house. When did you last see dbro and sil or is it a coincidence since they presumably did not meet your pils. Are you staying home or going into work now? Dh could look after ds, especially if neither have symptoms.

If you're negative now and everyone else is already positive, hopefully there's nothing more to it than your vaccine working as it should. Keeping fingers crossed for you

So we saw MIL & FIL on Tuesday night for a few hours.

FIL was full of cold but he’d been going to work and doing lateral flows which were negative.

When we went in I said I didn’t feel comfortable, I said he should have a PCr and my DH said “ not everything is Covid he has a cold”

As you can imagine with my mindset, I want DH to test even if he feels wam so DH gets fed up of me telling everyone to have a PCR.

Wednesday MIL text to say she was full of cold too and her lateral flow was negative.

She then saw BIL & SIL on Wednesday and FIL continued to go to work with BIL.

Friday my DH said he has a “bit of a tickle” in his throat. He had a negative positive lateral flow.

I told MIL and she said she had started coughing too so had ordered PCR tests.

Sunday MIL FIL and DH all had positive PCR.

Sunday Nephew has a positive lateral flow.

Sunday DS & I had negative lateral flows.

Today DS has positive PCR. I have negative PCR.

Today both SiL & BiL have positive PCR.

Friday my DH said he has a “bit of a tickle” in his throat. He had a negative positive lateral flow.

Not sure what a negative positive is…

He had a positive lateral flow

I wish some of you would just stop being so passive aggressive with your replies, stop picking at everything OP is saying and trying to catch her out. This is a worrying situation for her, just support her, her entire family has covid,.
I have heard of the promising trials where az and pfizer were mixed. And your long time between jabs might just be the sweet spot that is needed to make maximum antibodies, i have a feeling your not going to catch covid due to your vaccine schedule or if you do it will be v mild ! So your worries about having a second AZ and asking for Pfizer instead have paid off ! I will keep everything crossed for you x

@Dumpypumpy

Thank you ♥️

Ah misunderstood brother and sister in law , rather than bil and sil! But perhaps be reassured none of them are unwell or have symptoms beyond a cold if at all, as the overwhelming majority of those infected. You are negative and may well continue to be so.

@Cookerhood - clearly I meant because he's got covid, hence saying "your DS that's breastfeeding has covid?"

My BIl & SiL aren’t fully vaccinated either.

I hope they will be okay.

Mil said her chest is tight today. She has COPD and is CEV.

I’m trying to get hold of an oximeter for her.
Online it says she can get one for free from her Dr as she’s CEV.

My anxiety is going crazy today.

Im so worried. Not just about me, about everyone now.

I’m trying to be rational. I know I need to keep calm but this is so hard.

@Isabellabasil

OP please don't isolate from your son! That poor little boy, he already has one parent hiding from him. You will have been exposed plenty now, isolating isn't going to change that but it will mean everything to him.

@Isabellabasil

No way on this earth will I ever isolate from my baby.

If I catch Covid so be it. My son comes first.

Op why hasn't he had a PCR test? Don't keep doing LFT's

I’m so mad at myself. If I wasn’t so fat I probably wouldn’t be so worried.

I’ve had so much time to lose weight and I’ve put all of my time into worrying about Covid and making myself scared, anxious, depressed.

It’s put a stain on my marriage, my job, my friendships.

I know everyone on here has always told me how bad I am.

Now Covid is actually in my house!

I just have to hope and pray I don’t suffer badly, or thar any of my family don’t either.

@vickylou78

Op why hasn't he had a PCR test? Don't keep doing LFT's

@vickylou78

He has!! I’ve already said he has.

We’ve all had PCR’s

MIL
FIL
BIL
SIL
NEPHEW
DH
DS

ALL have positive PCR

My PCR is negaitve

Sorry just read further down that you've all had PCR's now. Ignore my post!

Hope you are all okay.

How is your husband feeling?

Honestly when you said that you felt stuffy and had a bad headache I assumed you had it, but the negative PCR could mean that you (and your vaccinations) have succesfully fought it off and you are in the clear. That's WHY you have vaccinations.

I think some people just skim over the top it - double vaxxed DH and I had it so mildly we wouldn't even have known if the kids didn't have it (confirmed with PCR).

With some people, it goes to their chest and then, I believe, your weight would work against you, but from what you have said over the last four days, I honestly think you're going to be perfectly fine. The vaccine worked.

But please do seek help for your weight and your anxiety now - take this really seriously. Your baby needs you, and Covid is only one of many things you are vulnerable to until you lose the weight. You can do it! CBT is one of many tools you can use to work on your health and anxiety.

@astoundedgoat
DH has no symptoms. DS has coughed a few times this morning but is fine in himself.

My friend didn’t test positive until 8 days into her husbands isolation. There’s still plenty of time for me to be positive.

It might be a good motivation to tackle your weight. We all have points when we think that’s it enough and we feel ready. I’m not criticising at all. I used the first lockdown as motivation to get my weight down and I slipped a bit but then I’ve decided to get back on track. It’s not easy, especially when you have mental health problems to deal with too.
I would recommend joining something like SlimmingWorld or weight watchers for the support and encouragement of a group and you get that motivation from others. :)
