Nothing more to add really, just feeling scared and alone. The advice says to try and stay with friends or family, but I can't risk taking it to my parents (late 60s, dad has a heart issue and had cancer surgery in December).

This was really not how I saw my first pregnancy going. I'm 35 and terrified I'll get it too and the fever will cause a miscarriage, but at this point all I can do is wait and see.

How frightening. Try not to worry though as firstly all the evidence suggests that the virus isn’t transmitted from mum to baby and secondly a high fever in the first trimester hasn’t been conclusively tied to miscarriage. The potential risk of fever can be lowered enormously by using paracetamol.

Can your DH isolate in a separate part of the house?

Thanks @HeyJupiter - he is isolated upstairs and I am downstairs (luckily we have a downstairs bathroom as well as an upstairs). I think I'm just feeling overwhelmed by the whole thing!
