Pregnant & NHS patient-facing.

I'm 27 weeks and just been off sick for a week or so with covid. Due back in next week. I was lucky, covid for me wasn't bad (heavy cold-like) &I'm triple jabbed. My previous agreement with my boss was I'd go non-patient facing at 28 weeks (no work from home option but the office i would be in is away from wards). Now they've said its up to me if I carry on light nursing (I.e. no heavy lifting) on the ward or go to the offices, but they are strongly nudging me towards staying patient facing (obviously). So I guess me question is, am I still at risk of catching covid again while pregnant given I've just had it? Or do I just need to treat it like I would any communicable thing like d & v in pre-covid times? I don't feel particularly anxious about it but I'm not sure if that's a good thing!

I’d like to know the answer to this too! I’m currently 15 weeks and off with covid- wondering if this now means I can worry less about catching it in the third trimester?

No one seems to know. I'm all for getting stuck in and cracking on but I don't want to be reckless Confused
