26 weeks & Covid positive :(

Hi mommies, I just tested positive on ART kit and not sure if baby will be safe? Anyone been thru Covid while pregnant can advise on what to do? I’m worried about baby :( I have called my gynae but she can’t do much as I can’t visit her until I’m negative. #pleasehelp

I had covid when 19 weeks pregnant and saw a GP. Doc gave pregnancy safe medication however as i had quite bad covid symptoms, GP gave referral to KKH to scan baby. GP assured that covid will not affect baby, so it was optional if i wanted to go. Went to KKH A&E since its my first pregnancy and didn’t know what to expect, turns out everything was normal. Btw at KKH they only monitor baby heart rate so no scans or tests. After that was asked to go home. Gynae also said that baby will have covid antibodies. Am at 37 weeks now and baby is all good, doing well. Don’t worry! Better to have covid now than much later in the pregnancy when you are very heavy or when baby is born
