Covid during pregnancy

Managed to catch covid this week. Tested as I feel absolutely awful with it, permanent headaches, teeth aches, no sense of smell or taste and dry cough. Paracetamol not touching the sides.

Reading online depending where you are in the country some say to notify midwife as it can cause complications in 3rd trimester and some are unclear?

Has anyone else had covid during pregnancy and can offer any advice! Thanks

I had covid at 12 weeks when I was pregnant with my wee boy. I felt terrible, was like a really bad cold but i was just exhausted 😴 everything with the remainder of my pregnant was absolutely fine though. Try and rest up as much as you can and take it easy

I tested positive on Friday after having what I thought was bit of a cough! I've not been too bad but have been told to just watch out for usual things we would report to midwife plus contact if gets worse. I was offered the antibody treatment because I have MS (but sadly missed cut of as symptoms started 6 days ago) not sure If would have been offered with pregnancy alone 😕 I'm going to speak to midwife tomorrow as it has also been suggested that a scan may be offered. I'm 21+5 by the way

Not sure if any of that helps 😕 but I'd say if concerned call midwife or 111

Hope you feel better soon

I had Covid 2 weeks ago at 20 weeks. Called midwife and they said nothing to worry about for the baby but as we can’t take much medication (other than a bit of paracetamol) just have to deal with it. I felt terrible for like 3 days, then got some energy back.
Was surprised that I didn’t have to move my 20 weeks scan the week after, they said wear a mask and you can attend.

I had covid last week but everything was fine with baby ect. You can ring your midwife if you are worried. I didn't do that as i wasn't too bad but it might put your mibd at rest if you call them. I hope you feel better soon! X
