Covid at 21 weeks

[victoria5895]

I've tested positive today at 21+3 weeks. Im absolutely terrifying myself reading all the 'risks' so hoping there's some positive experiences from some of you who may have been or are in the same situation.

Im double jabbed and had my booster 8 days ago so I'm hoping my symptoms won't get much worse. At the moment I'm just achy and tired - which are basically my general pregnancy symptoms at the moment (just a bit more exaggerated than normal).
This is my second pregnancy, both my partner and son have tested positive so we're all floored at the moment.

Any advice/at home remedies would be great!

Fingers crossed you will get off lightly which is very likely now you are boosted!

Drink plenty of water, try to keep as active as you can at home, and call your midwife tomorrow so they can update your risk assessment for clots to see if blood thinning injections would be advised.

Hi, I also tested positive at 21 weeks on Christmas Eve after catching it from my 4 year old. Similarly to you, double jabbed and very recent booster. I’ve been absolutely fine, it has been like a very mild cold for me. 6 days on I’m feeling 100% back to normal, I just had a sore throat, headache and stuffy nose for a few days, and that’s all it will be for the vast majority of us if vaccinated so try not to worry.

I texted my midwife as I know some people are given blood thinners as a precaution but mine just told me to keep hydrated and keep and eye on baby’s movements. Mine has been kicking away so I’m sure all is ok.

Hope you have it very mildly too op!

As for remedies I took paracetamol a couple of times for the headache and to help my sore throat made some hot water with fresh lemon juice and honey which really helped.
