34 weeks pregnant - Covid

[hollie29x]

Has anyone tested positive in 3rd trimester (unvaccinated) and been ok?

Partner has tested positive, I am still negative at the moment but feel like it's only a matter of time ...

Oh we also have the baby bereavement team
On the unit when a mum is dying at my request so that we can take casts of hands and feet of the mum, like they do with deaths of neonates so the baby has something tangible to look at.

But no. Of course I'm the uncaring one and my patients are suffering in my care.. have you ever found out the patients favourite music before an iPad visit from their family so they can hear some nice music in the background that might help their family, or held an iPad whilst a woman in her 20s died ?

No?

Then accuse me of lacking compassion. you chose not to have a vaccine, I respect that, that's your body, your choice. I would treat you like one of my own family members because I know you have people who love you at home willing you to get better.. calling me uncaring because I have a difference of opinion to you is frankly offensive.

Meant to say ECMO not expo machine

Wow @dontletthemugglesgetyoudownn I understand you have an extremely difficult job and see some awful things through it but berating OP when she's asking for some reassurance is hardly the right thing to do. It's too late to get vaccinated right now as her DH already has Covid and they're in the same household, so bashing her isn't really a constructive or caring thing to do.
Maybe OP will decide to get vaccinated once her DH has completed his isolation period but what you have said isn't helpful at all.

@hollie29x I don't have any experience with this but as other helpful posters have suggested, try and stay away from DH as much as you can, if he can isolate from you in a separate room then do it. Make sure you rest and take it easy and if you do test positive contact your midwife straight away. If you do test positive there's no saying you'll definitely become seriously ill, a lot of pregnant women experience it mildly. Hoping you keep well.

I had Covid at 26 weeks, It was like the flu and I felt poorly for around 2 weeks. I was worried about my baby but thankfully he was very active throughout and now he’s here (2 weeks old) he’s doing very well. My midwife was very supportive and reassuring throughout and I was offered an additional growth scan at 36 weeks. I’m
Also unvaccinated because I didn’t feel comfortable taking it. Now I have had the baby I am still thinking about whether to take it.

@CreedBratton I just don't appreciate Op telling me I'm not compassionate or caring towards my Patients when she has no idea what I do day to day for people who are sick with Covid many of which are pregnant that's the sad fact
