Third trimester and covid risks

So I'm only 17 weeks but planning ahead for a break away (in the UK) and just wondering how concerned I should be about the Covid risks in my third trimester?
I've read (mainly on mumsnet) about the 3rd trimester being more dangerous if you get Covid, and not sure if I need to be extra cautious, especially as when I hit the 3rd trimester it'll be July when supposedly we shouldn't have any restrictions?
How have others experiencing pregnancy in the pandemic found it?

My baby is 5 months now but obviously I was pregnant throughout all the lockdowns last year. Honestly I was very cautious when it came to being in the 3rd trimester (it is much riskier and there is emerging evidence about the risks of blot clots and how they may effect the placenta etc) but then again community transmission was significantly higher then than it is now. I would wait and see how the numbers are looking come July. I was admittedly probably over cautious but I have health anxiety anyway.

Congrats on the baby 🙂
