Just wondering if anyone has had COVID whilst pregnant? How far along where you and what symptoms did you have?

35/36 weeks, i was fine apart from a bad headache but just took some paracetamols and carried on working (from home) I did have a day where I was feeling drained and really tired but I put it down to late pregnancy.
Not vaccinated so I think I am lucky with not being ill with it.
Surprisingly I had a cough after I’d then tested negative (after the 10 days).
I know people will be much worse with it I count myself lucky.
I’ve had worse colds/hangovers to be honest.

I was floored with covid 4 weeks ago at 28 weeks. Been double jabbed. My son had it first so I knew the chances of getting it were high. Started generally feeling unwell, a bit hot and tired. Then about day 3 I was absolutely done in. Symptoms were bad for the next 3/4 days and then I started feeling better. The worst part was the coughing. I strained my stomach at the top left side of my bump so it was literal agony for ages.
The weirdest part was the loss of smell and taste. I hadn't even thought about it till I was eating jaffa cakes and there was absolutely no taste of orange.
To be honest it took a few weeks for us all to feel better. My ds 12, dd17 and dd partner 18 all caught it and they took a few weeks to feel properly better too

I had it at 20 weeks and was awful. Couldn't move off the sofa from exhaustion

I had it when I was 8-9 weeks pregnant. I had a sore throat, lost my appetite and slept a lot. I don't think I moved from bed for about 4 days as I could only stay awake for 2 hours at a time before needing to go back to sleep as I was exhausted. I'm not 17 weeks and baby is doing well!
