Corona during pregnancy

Hey
I really did my best, but still caught Corona.
I spoke with a client for 1 hour, keeping the necessary distance and wearing a surgical mask, both in a ventilated sunroom. The client was told the next day that she had been in contact with someone who tested positive, so she got tested right away and was indeed positive. I got tested the next day too and was negative.
The following day, I started feeling pretty flu-like. Pain all over, runny nose, and a little coughing. After feeling unwell for 2 days, I took another Corona test and yes, it turns out I’m infected too. Luckily, since that first negative test, I’ve been isolating myself well from the outside world, so I only had 1 day where I could have infected people.
Are there any pregnant women here who’ve had Corona?

    Yes, I've got it.

    How far along were you already? Did the gynecologist say anything about something harmful potentially happening?
    I'm now 32 weeks along.
    I'm not too worried right now, since I'm not that sick. But still, I wouldn't want anything to happen to the baby.
    Since it's the weekend + Monday is a holiday, I can only call the gynecologist on Tuesday.

    11.4 weeks..
    No, I shouldn't worry, but I was really sick. So I took paracetamol to bring the fever down. I guess as a mom-to-be, we always tend to worry.
    They do an extra growth scan at 28, 32, and 36 weeks.
    Don't worry too much, take good care of yourself!

    Thank you!
    I was the sickest on days 1 and 2. Now on days 3 and 4 I feel like I did on the first 2 days, but with less pain all over. So much better already. Luckily no fever.
    Were you sick for a long time? Or mainly the first few days? Or did it get better and then worse again?
    I hope in advance that my worst days are behind me, then it feels like it's not too bad. Can't wait for Tuesday so I can call the gynecologist.

    I was sick for 3 weeks, with the first week being the toughest. I still have symptoms unfortunately, it's taking a long time.. but not everyone has it the same way.

    Feel better soon, hopefully you'll feel better quickly!

    Ah, that's unfortunate.
    I haven't experienced it myself, but I do know that from 28 weeks pregnant you should be more alert about your lungs. Because of your big belly, your lungs have less room. So if you're having a lot of breathing difficulties, I'd definitely call. If you're getting enough air...just wait until Tuesday. But especially keep an extra eye on your lungs. They're already working a bit harder.
    Feel better soon!

    I had it too, but luckily I wasn't pregnant at that time. I just had flu-like symptoms, nothing more—no runny nose, no sore throat, no breathing problems. That's how you see that everyone is different. I was only sick for two days and recovered using Citrobiotic, a natural miracle product.

    Hey,
    I just wanted to let you know that I was feeling flu-like for 4 days, then suddenly got better for 2 days, and then felt flu-like again for another 4 days.
    Now I'm back to normal
    But I've been having a heavy feeling in my lungs since this afternoon. Not sure if it's related to my pregnancy, but it could be, I guess. I'll see tomorrow; if I'm not better, I'll call the doctor or gynecologist.
