Covid positive during 3rd trimester

Anyone here was diagnosed covid positive during their 3rd trimester? I am at week 28 right now and gotten covid 2 days ago. Only ate paracytemol twice to curb the fever as I am afraid the medicine will not be good to the baby. But I am most worried about the side effects of covid to a unborn baby and also will it result into preterm baby/ stillbirth?

yes my friend was. paracetamol is safe for pregnancy. as for long term side effects, nobody knows. but many covid mummies have gone on to give birth to healthy babies. your stress and worry is also not good for baby you know?

I’ve had covid when I was almost 29wks then.. Couldn’t take any meds coz I’m allergic to paracetamol. Just make sure you drink lots of water & sleep it off. It helps. I’m almost 37wks, baby is as healthy as can be.
