None

LucyLastik · 03/04/2022 14:34

I'm on my second lot. First was Jan this year and now for the second time

aintnospringchicken · 03/04/2022 14:35

Never

MrsH101 · 03/04/2022 15:18

Twice.

Jan 2021 (unvaccinated and unknowingly pregnant with my second DS). In bed for about a week - fever, fast heart rate, cough, shortness of breath, loss of taste. Vomiting and heartburn - which turned out to be be the baby. Smile DH & DS1 also positive but had nothing more than runny noses.

Tested positive again yesterday - suspect from DS1 who was a bit poorlier this time. Only testing as I had to take a midday nap and felt a bit off and we were due to go out for lunch. Now have a headache, temperature, scratchy throat, fatigue and had a cough (which has since cleared). DH & DS2 (breastfed) so far negative. Im up and about more than first time and breathing is fine. Still being sure to rest and get the boys looking after me Brew

Am triple vax’d.

Once in Feb 2022.

Sparkle275 · 03/04/2022 18:21

Oh gosh, that's awful. Hope you aren't feeling to bad today. I've only had it the once that I know about and that was in December. I felt quite unwell but luckily was able to manage the symptoms at home with lots of rest. All 5 of us in the household went down like flys one after the other with it. It was awful.

GuyDiamond · 03/04/2022 18:23

Just the once so far. I avoided it until quite recently as well (AFAIK)

GiveMeNovocain · 03/04/2022 18:24

No one in our house has had it. Not even school child. I'm not looking forward to catching it, but hopefully it'll be a mild dose

hiredandsqueak · 03/04/2022 19:05

Not at all.

Kabsy30 · 03/04/2022 20:15

Definitely once confirmed (December last year!) but reckon I may have had it late 2019/2020 but who knows 🤷‍♀️

My own dd had it twice confirmed within 5/6 weeks recently. Minimal symptoms each time. I reckon my children had it in early 2020 though, they were extremely poorly in early 2020, at the time I said it was like nothing I've experienced before as a parent and it may explain why their symptoms were minimal more recently, could barely tell they had it!

Madwife123 · 03/04/2022 20:24

I’ve had it twice but nearly 2 years apart.
DP never
DS once
DD has it now for the third time, and only 4 weeks since her second time!

user1471509171 · 03/04/2022 20:44

Twice, once before vaccines, mild but had ongoing chest and breathing issues for just a year. 2nd time very mild no ongoing issues was double jabbed then.

glowingcandle · 03/04/2022 20:45

Zero

Iggly · 03/04/2022 20:46

Just once recently.

I’ve had plenty of PCRs and an anti body test which showed none (although that’s meaningless as antibodies don’t last that long apparently)! But I’m convinced I had it in winter 2019 just before Christmas - a work colleague came back from China and loads of us went off sick with a nasty flu/cough.

LostOrFound · 03/04/2022 20:53

Three times

Mar 2020 - not horrific but got long covid that I haven’t fully recovered from
Oct 2021 - only cold symptoms but fatigue lingered a bit. Didn’t make my long covid worse.
Mar 2022 - similar to October.

maybeimjustlikemymother · 03/04/2022 20:56

Never, and I work in healthcare seeing patients face to face. I've tested three times weekly for the last year (with LFTs) and whenever I've had any symptoms that could be covid I've done a PCR. Always negative. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lilaclavenders · 03/04/2022 22:13

Never

Despite having been in very close contact with positive cases a couple of times.

Vapeyvapevape · 03/04/2022 22:15

Never had it , I'd love to know why some get it and others don't- genetics ? Luck ?

Iggly · 03/04/2022 22:19

That was me until two weeks ago 😂 none of us had it in the house, so I assumed we were super immune as we’d had plenty of exposure.

As it was ds got it (probably from a coach school trip) and gave it to me.

Sunbird24 · 03/04/2022 22:26

Not at all (yet).
My parents have both had it, and so has my sibling, so I don’t think it’s likely to be genetics in my case, just luck.

hellcatspangle · 03/04/2022 22:31

Once quite recently (mild)
