I had my first way before I was pregnant and was over due getting the second. I feel very nervous about having it whilst pregnant, I'm healthy and baby is healthy so would hate for anything to ruin that.

Me and OH don't really go too many places and are very cautious just mainly food shops and school runs both work from home.

I know I need to have it just need some convincing! Is it a definitely safe for me and baby?

When the line said positive I burst into tears - I was scared that I was going to die because of the news. My illness wasn't bad at all.. my mental health was worse because of the horror stories.

It was only a cold. Maybe I was lucky or it's not as bad as what's been said.

You were lucky. Millions of people have had covid from asymptomatic to dead. You were just lucky; not an argument for not getting the vaccine.
World deaths over 17 million I believe (BBC report heard on radio).

On another thread recently someone was talking about her friend who is a midwife in a London teaching hospital and the number of post and peri mortem c-sections she'd been involved in trying to safely deliver the babies of dead or dying women with covid. That alone was enough to quell any doubts I may have.

Much like flu, covid is more dangerous if you're pregnant because of the way your immune system responds in pregnancy.
