Managing worry about baby
This week, I have been really unwell with Covid including a stay in hospital and now I can’t stop worrying about whether the baby is ok. The doctors didn’t do any checks for the baby but kept telling me it would be fine. I’m overthinking little things like the fact I’m not waking up for the toilet in the night. How can I manage my worry? I only had a scan last week so can’t really have another reassurance scan yet. 15+5 weeks.

I’ve just come out of hospital with Covid (17 weeks pregnant) was there for 5 nights and felt exactly the same. The didn’t check the baby so as soon as I was discharged I went to get a private scan. Everything was absolutely fine with the baby.
You could speak to your midwife about having Doppler check (they usually only do this after 16 weeks and some trusts don’t even like doing it then)
But I absolutely get your worry. Please rest assured that it seems to have no impact on my baby and the doctors were correct in telling me so.
In regards to symptoms, mine literally seemed to disappear at 15ish week and now I don’t wake up during the night to pee at all!
If it helps, I had pneumonia at 11 weeks and was in hospital for over a week. I had very similar worries about impact on baby but just had my 20 week scan and all looks to be fine, exactly as they said. X
