Advice?? Positive for COVID

Question

So I tested positive today for Covid and I am 26 weeks preggers.  I have severe asthma and an autoimmune disease and I’m on a waiting list for monoclonal antibodies.  I’m tapering off steroids from a previous pneumonia.  Just here asking if anyone has any tips or tricks that helped them get through theirs? My doctors know and all of that.  Just looking for things that maybe aren’t known as commonplace that helped you! TIA!

Answer

Oh boy. So sorry to hear!!
Hope you’re feeling ok.
I had covid a year ago - wasn’t pregnant no other medical condition but I was really sick.
Tired all the time no appetite and a terrible cough & shortness of breath .
Got a chest infection alongside it.
Besides paracetamol and ibuprofen I took antibiotics for my chest infection.
Nebuliser with saline drops really helped clear my chest and head off mucus. 
Force yourself to drink and eat enough.
Steroid nasal sprays should help - hey say
If you’re asthmatic I’m sure you have your puffs…might come in handy
Hope you’ll make it through well.
May I ask: are you vaccinated?

Answer

i'm so sorry! i haven't had it but my sister and her husband did and what helped them a lot is not laying in bed, i know it can be hard because you feel awful but my sister made themselves get up and do chores or walk around in the backyard so that way the stuff isn't sitting in their chest, it could be really helpful in preventing pneumonia. if you aren't taking prenatals i would definitely start!

Answer

Thank you for all of this.  Sorry you suffered through that.  I’m on oxygen and am scheduled Monday for monoclonal antibodies.  Just praying I don’t get any worse.  No, I was not vaccinated.  It wasn’t readily available in my area at until mid May and I personally didn’t want to chance it while pregnant.  It’s a bitch.
