Covid during week 12 preggie

Hugs mama ❤️ Try not to panic. Quite a number of mums have had COVID during pregnancy and gone on to have healthy pregnancies and healthy babies. The most important thing is to rest, stay hydrated, monitor your temperature, and follow your doctor’s advice on medications that are safe during pregnancy. If you haven’t already, do let your gynae know so they can advise if any additional monitoring is needed. I know it’s scary, especially in the first trimester, but having COVID doesn’t automatically mean there will be issues with baby. Focus on recovering and taking care of yourself. ❤️

I just recovered from influenza A and I was 12 going 13 weeks preggie. I fell sick with the flu with my first pregnancy at 18 weeks too and was admitted to KKH due to persistent high fever. All praise to God, baby was fine during the flu virus. Just look after yourself. Ensure plenty of hydration. Find any drinks that suit you except coffee and tea. I personally found Pocari sweat and fruit juices more satisfying than water. Regular Panadol ONLY to break fever. ALSO, just see a GP/gynae if your symptoms persists. I went to GP first for meds and they know to provide pregnancy safe meds.
