Hi,

I'm currently 34 weeks pregnant and on day 5 after getting a positive Covid test.

I'm double vaccinated and was due to receive my third vaccine on January 24th.

Does anyone know when it will get better?

I was crying this morning because I felt so bad and drained, both emotionally and physically.

Last night I couldn't sleep at all. My nose has been totally blocked for days now. I manage to unblock it by 20 % by taking how showers and using seawater nasal spray, but within a minute or so my nose totally blocks up again. This is the reason why I can't sleep at night, I think my body panics and thinks it is suffocating.

I also have a bad cough.

The hospital send me an oxygen meter and my oxygen levels are fine.

I just feel so poorly, probably also caused by the lack of sleep, so I wonder if anyone know when it will get better? Xx

Hello. I'm 28 nearly 29 weeks pregnant and currently on day 6. I felt really poorly and was in bed on days 2, 3 and 4. Feeling slightly better today but cold symptoms, getting breathless and can't do much without needing a lie down afterwards, even unpacking the dishwasher this morning was exhausting Sad

I think it will take a while longer, especially being in our third trimester. Just rest as much as you can and drink plenty.

Sorry if not alot of help but I know how you feel. I've been feeling emotional and crying alot too x
