My husband started feeling sick on Friday. He has a cough, sinus pain, and some achiness. I have a slight sore throat and drainage, but I’ve had that a lot during pregnancy. We’re staying away from everyone but we were around my mom last weekend, who is 68 and had breast cancer a few years ago. Husband is getting tested Wednesday.
I’m not usually a hypochondriac but I am slightly freaking out, mainly scared for baby and getting my mom sick. I’m 28 weeks. On top of everything, we’re moving out of state in early December and I’m emotional about not being able to see anyone before we go. I’m also supposed to do the 3hr glucose redo on Wednesday, and not sure if I’ll be able to now. Which again, worries me if I need to change my diet for baby.
I was crying because I was overwhelmed with everything and husband just keeps saying it’ll be fine, “it’s just like the chicken pox.” Chicken pox doesn’t kill people though! Please don’t bash him, I’m just venting and anxious.
I know it's hard, but try not to worry until he gets his test result. definitely quaratine until you know for sure, but try not to stress until you have something to stress about. I know it's hard! but it's also cold/flu/strep season so it could easily be something else. ❤️ wishing you the best
COVID can be very serious. We should be extra careful due to our growing babies. We request the same from others around us. Yet things can still happen and there’s no one to blame. The worry stresses me out too! And I’m not moving. Keep your head up. Prayers momma. ❤️🙏🏻
I have known about a dozen people to test positive from covid in the last few months (my college daughter being one of them). All of them have report just having symptoms that are like a bad chest cold and have felt much better within the week. While some people have it worse then others, that’s kind of the case with anything. Try not to worry too much about this as the stress isn’t good for you or the baby. Let him get his test and then take it from there. As far as your glucose test, call the doctor and let them know what’s going on. They will probably want to postpone it until you have the test results for your husband. In the meantime, you can make small changes to your diet if you are worried about the glucose test. I’m sure you can Google ways to adjust it until you know for sure.
Our hormones make us feel and think way more then we normally do. Just know it’s going to all be okay.
If it helps I’ve known plenty of people, myself included, who haven’t been feeling well lately but it turns out it’s just a bug.
We are only around my mom/ siblings and my husbands parents. Out of all of us only 2 people leave their houses for work and everyone is extremely careful. We got really worried when a few of us started not feeling well, especially since we are so careful. We were going back and thinking how one of us could have gotten covid and we’re literally worrying like mad. All results came back negative and it turns out it was just a small virus we had. It’s flu and cold season so remember it could be something other than covid. It could also just be random symptoms of pregnancy for you and other things for other people that are unrelated. It’s hard but try to breath and not stress and just continue being extremely careful and safe. Stay home until you get results for a covid test though just in case but in the mean time remember it could be other things as well.
