COVID while pregnant

[Fredthefish]

Looking for a hand hold really…
I’ve just tested positive for Covid on lateral flow - feel really rubbish. Think it probably is Covid.
Have anxiety problems at the best of times but wondering if anyone has any tips, guidance, or just support.
I’m only 8 weeks so hoping it’ll be ok. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Sorry to hear this OP, had you managed to get double jabbed?
Focus on looking after yourself for now (and getting a PCR test as soon as poss).
If you start to get chest pain or shortness of breath later in the week then give your GP a call as they may want to give you a home oxygen monitor

I got Covid at 17 weeks pregnant & I’ll admit
It wasn’t easy, but I am unvaccinated. My advice is to rest as much as possible & drink copious amounts of fluids. Even if your not thirsty & stock up on paracetamol incase you get a fever!

Hopefully it won’t affect you too much. Hope you feel better soon OP. & congrats on your pregnancy x

I had covid around 8w, my symptoms were very mild, I had both jabs prior to getting ill..Im 22w now and all is fine with me and most importantly baby is fine.. just take it easy and rest

Sorry to hear you tested positive. I had Covid around 9/10 weeks pregnant, I'm unvaccinated and managed with paracetamol and fluids. Was conscious of becoming breathless and chest pain. Hope you have a speedy recovery take care of yourself x
