Struggling through COVID and pregnancy

Hi @Losingit

My friend in America got Covid while she was around 20 weeks pregnant. She went to the hospital about three times because she was pretty sick. Her midwife started a Covid protocol with her when her hubby tested positive. She had a couple of extra scans after to check on bub and thinks look normal. She is due in a couple of weeks from now but so far so good. So I guess I am saying that even if you do get it as long as you look after yourself you and baby should be fine! Stress will make you more susceptible as it lowers the immune system. So take some deep breath’s and try as hard as you can to relax. Eat healthy and drink water. Good luck, I hope that you don’t get it. It’s not a for sure thing. My son has it right now and so far his girlfriend, who he is staying with, hasn’t gotten it. Please try and relax, maybe try some meditations.

Thanks @Oaktree

I try to tell myself that countless other women have been through the same thing of covid and pregnancy and have survived (and hopefully thrived) to tell us about it. It’s reassuring to hear that even with 3 hospital admissions things can hopefully work out. I just want bloody covid to be over!! For a chronic anxiety sufferer (whose main trigger is health concerns) it’s pushing me right to the very brink
