Hi! Always a worry but if it helps I got Covid at 12 weeks and although it was rough not being able to take any cold and flu medication I was totally fine, after a few days, midwives just said to take it easy and make sure I was drinking plenty! But baby is totally fine, don’t worry to much but definitely try to avoid catching anything if you can help it, especially with just having a chest infection x
@Charlotte thanks for this. I’m just worried because cause we share the one bathroom and I’m cautious of him touching surfaces
As someone that suffered covid during late pregnancy in 2022 I’d advise to just be cautious. Even though I had my jabs it still wiped me out. I had to have an oxygen reader from hospital delivered and had to check my oxygen twice a day. It wasn’t fun. So I’d say just be careful cos it could kick your ass on top of pregnancy. In terms of the pregnancy shouldn’t be anything to worry about. If you do catch it you may have to monitor your oxygen but will be no risk to baby apart from that x
My partner had covid three weeks ago (as did my parents that I’d spent a lot of time with) and I didn’t get it at all. My sister also didn’t get it and nor did my elderly grandma. It’s definitely not certain who contracts it and who doesn’t even in close quarters. I really hope it bypasses you too!
Hi. Just to add. My husband got covid when I was around 5 months pregnant. We just carried on as normal thinking it's just a normal flu. He recovered after a few days and I ended up catching it worst experience of my life. I struggled for months and even ended up getting chest xrays as my body would not fight it. Best thing to do is go live with your mother and drop food off for him? I was told baby does not get harmed by covid and was assured many times.
To be honest it’s not a thing anymore. 3 years ago yes be more vigilant. It now says it’s very rare for Covid to be passed to in unborn baby. There is no need to isolate https://www.england.nhs.uk/coronavirus/wp-content/uploads/sites/52/2020/05/C0441-Maternity-Leaflets-CV19-Looking-After-Yourself.pdf
