COVID?

My son and I went to a friends house last week for a couple hours and she ended up getting a fever, sore throat and bad body aches etc the very next day and then like 3 days later her kids had the same symptoms as her. I was SOOO scared my son and I were gonna catch whatever she had(probably covid). It’s been 7 days now and neither of us got sick! I’m honestly shocked and have NO idea how we escaped it 😅

With that being said - I’m gonna be wayyy more cautious before being in super close proximity to people, basically just asking them if they’ve had any weird symptoms/feelings in the last few days, even little things. If they have, I won’t go.

Further context: I went out of town with my parents and husband. The owner of our rental had Covid and I’m suspicious my mom got close to her while the three of us were in the cabin. My mother ended up getting COVID. Even though we all had a two hour drive together the whole way home none of us got it. Thank goodness! It definitely sharply refocused my attention on being careful. I haven’t been boosted or wearing a mask. Kids are already telling me teacher and students are out for COVID so it’s been on my mind for sure!

In the last week 3 friends and family has gotten it too. It’s definitely back!!! I am not getting a booster but I am being extra careful whenever I am out.

I dont see people on a daily basis because i work from home, but if i did i would definitely mask up.

wow so you escaped it too! Crazy maybe our babies are keeping us safe 😅 I was so sure I was gonna get it, and then nothing…

But yeah, I’m not gonna mask or anything, just gonna be less shy about politely confronting people to ask if they’ve recently been sick or around anyone that seemed off etc! I’m sure most people would be nice about it considering we’re pregnant :)

I love that… our babies are keeping us safe 🥹 I think that’s a great approach. I really hate to go back to wearing a mask but want to be reasonable in keeping me and baby safe.

My husband got it a few weeks ago- I was lucky enough to not get it somehow! I’ve been pretty consistently masking when we go to the movies and when we are in really packed closed in places… but besides that I haven’t been. I am thinking I’ll make an appt for a Covid booster in the next few weeks- I’ll probably have a talk with my doctor about it at my next appt.
