Fell sick possibly Covid
I have a sore throat and fever and I know I was visited by someone who has just recovered from Covid. Right now testing negative for Covid and influenza but I’m only 7 weeks and worried. I was only given Panadol to take Anyone else fell sick with Covid during early pregnancy and it all turned out fine?
From what I've generally heard, some mums did test negative initially but turned positive a few days later, so it's worth retesting after a day or two if your symptoms persist. Panadol is usually what doctors recommend first in early pregnancy, so that part sounds right, and many mums have gone through mild Covid or Covid-like illness in the first trimester and had perfectly healthy pregnancies. A friend of mine went through something very similar, sore throat, fever, tested negative twice before getting a positive, and her baby arrived absolutely fine. Do keep a close eye on your fever and stay well hydrated, but please also loop back with your OB or GP if symptoms worsen or don't improve, just so you have proper peace of mind for your specific situation.
