Anyone had Covid while pregnant?

I’m double jabbed and 8 months pregnant but have just had COVID confirmed. Midwife calling daily to check on me but obviously no contact. I feel crap - headache, cough, aches and fatigue but not hospital level crap. Baby seems to be moving - I keep prodding him to make sure. Just wondering if anyone else caught it while pregnant and hoping the outcome was ok?

You are double jabbed so odds are pretty good in your favour I think the vast majority of seriously Sick hospital maternity cases have been something like 98% not jabbed.

It’s great your midwife is keeping a close eye I’m sure at slivers concern they will have you taken in to be checked for both your sakes.

I know it doesn’t help with the worry though. Hope things pick up soon Flowers

I did, at 34 weeks, and everything has been okay. Just my sense of smell hasn't come back properly, but it's getting there.
I'm not in the UK but once I tested negative they gave me an extra scan and blood tests.
All good on scan, tests showed low iron levels which were previously normal.
I would try to eat up on high iron foods while you are unwell and maybe you can avoid it.
But iron can drop towards end of pregnancy anyway.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Hi yes I did when I was 9 months and also had it when I went into labour. All was fine, baby is healthy
