Hi,
I currently have covid, end of day two and am 10 weeks pregnant. I'm stressing a bit tonight as I can't sleep, likely due to me not being active today. I know being on my phone isn't helping though. Felt fatigued, probably a combination of pregnancy and covid as I've felt fatigued in my pregnancy. I'm also a little anxious as I've had a raised temperature, and I had a raised temperature earlier in my pregnancy. Both times it's given me heat rash which I had in my first pregnancy but no other time in my life.
Anyone want to be my pregnant, covid buddy?

I'm 23 weeks today and on day 4/5 depending on what you class as symptoms starting. Positive lft last Thursday.
Luckily just been a heavy cold but still left me in bed for two days and slouching about the house feeling rough the rest of it. Today I feel a bit more with it but still got a sinus headache.

Difficult to tell when the symptoms actually started cause all last week I was exhausted, achey and headachey, but I put it down to being a teacher at the end of term and the baby!

Gah, good luck both. I had it at eight weeks to nine weeks and was really frightened but it passed. Paracetamol is good for temperature

I'm not a teacher but my DH is and has caught it too, just in the holidays.ik. My symptoms quite clearly started when I hit the pillow Saturday night with a pulsing in my ears, headache, feverish etc so tested when I got up. Fortunately my work has kept a stricter policy of don't come in for 5 days then do daily lateral flows and if they stay positive come in day 10. However, due to easter I'll be back day 10.

I was in bed most of Sunday, got up a little bit. And yesterday I felt less I'll but fatigued and I lounged around the house. Although, the fatigue has been my main pregnancy symptom.
