Thank you so much! I’ve had crippling anxiety around covid and I’m currently TTC, this video helps a lot!!
I’m 20 weeks pregnant and I work as a birth doula. I didn’t plan to be pregnant right now - it’s certainly giving me even more empathy for our clients/patients during the pandemic. So hard for all of us. I got COVID when I wasn’t pregnant in 2021. I’m hoping to avoid it this pregnancy but I really appreciate your story. It helps.
When I was 8 months pregnant I got covid a second time while pregnant and drs gave me this med. it did scare me cuz there were no studies on pregnant women. I had mild symptoms tho but since I am not vaccinated they recommended taking it. It did work out and Happy to say my baby is healthy! 3 months PP.
I’m so glad to see someone commenting about taking this medication 😭 I recently been tested posted for covid and got prescribed with it but I’m terrified to take it, I’m currently 26 weeks & 5 days….. how long after taking it did you start feeling good ? Did it cause any complications while taking it ?
I just got covid alim preagnant I'm crying what should I do plz give me advice
Me too . Best advice is to call your OBGYN/GP.
@@olivialovesdesign I did he said there's nothing to worry about I'm clear now :]
@@letyourlightshine2727 my home tests are still darker than the control line I feel awful how long did it take you to get well?
I had it at exactly 24 months pregnant too! At 37 weeks now and luckily no lingering symptoms 😊
I'm 25 weeks pregnant and just got possitive I'm really worried for my baby 😟
@@basmamubarak3991 I had a beautiful baby boy who is thriving at 3 months now 😊Best wishes for your family
@@basmamubarak3991 I got a positive covid test and I’m 18 weeks pregnant the doctor gave paxlovid 150/100 because I’m a little overweight and have asthma my symptoms are not that bad but I feel like I’m getting worse now with the dry cough and the wheezing of my chest and I can’t be using my asthma pump every hour should I take paxlovid or no I’m scared for my baby boy 😢
Do you feel having COVID in pregnancy will affect the remainder of your prenatal care or delivery e.g. I have heard of additional NSTs nearing delivery and induction at 39 weeks if COVID pos in pregnancy due to placental risks? Thank you so much for the informative video!
Thank you for this. When does the full study come out? I’d love to see perinatal outcomes in the omicron wave as it relates to vax status - hope this is a data point. And, can you share the podcast?
I’m 27 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with Covid two days ago, they did give me paxlovid and it dramatically helped my symptoms. I did notice that if I don’t take the paxlovid within the 12 hour frame that I dramatically feel sick once again. I’m hoping i will feel well at the end of the 5 days.
After you finished your 5 days did you ever get any rebounds of it??? Or did you test negative afterwards ? Please let me know I’m terribly scared to take this med because I’ve seen doctors talk about the rebounds it has , 🥺🙏🏻
How did it go?
Hi. Thanks for the video. Just tested positive 2 days ago and I'm 37 weeks today! Having mild symptoms except for a cough with yellow phlegm. I'm heading to the doctor's now to see if I can get the paxlovid. I have rheumatoid arthritis and take a biologic for that, otherwise healthy. Any info on paxlovid and biologics?
Hi doctor, I have watched many of your videos when I was pregnant January to September and you have helped me so much! I’m 6 months PP now and feeling like myself again (first child). I haven’t seen any videos posted since you were pregnant last year and I hope all is well ❤
I had covid at 18 week recently. I hadn’t yet had my autumn booster (I’m in the U.K.) but I had all my previous 3 vaccines, but last one was in December 2021. I then had covid the first time in March/April 22. Please can you tell me if you would consider me ‘vaccinated’ at the time I caught covid recently? I’m concerned that although I wasn’t very unwell (no fever or even significant fatigue) just cold symptoms, there might be unseen harm to my baby because I had t had a recent vaccine.
Thank you so much for your video. So helpful.
Doc, what about covid positive at 33w 5 days? Cough, light headache, cold. After taking acetaminophen, head ache gone. Robutussin severe for cough. Any issue or complications to the baby in this case from your perspective?
Just tested positive at 24wks; fully vaxxed and boosted, this has really put my mind at ease. Thank you for sharing the data and your story!!!
I were 28 weeks pregnant and got diagnosed with COVID. I got COVID vaccinated along with the booster prior to pregnancy. I finished the Paxlovid medicine. However, I would like to ask whether this medicine has any side effects to the baby development or birth defect later. Please advice. Thanks in advance.
My wife is only at 7 weeks but has miscarried and has had an ectopic in the last 5 months. She had Covid just before becoming pregnant and was prescribed paxlovid because she had recently been pregnant. Well she managed to get Covid 7 weeks later and we’re wondering if paxlovid would be a good idea or not. What are your thoughts?
I’m 25 weeks right now with Covid trying to advocate to get paxlovid. How was your delivery? How was the baby?!
Hi, I am 36weeks and tested covid +ve suffering from fever and severe body aches, visited urgent care doctor prescribed Paxlovid, but when I spoke to OB/GYN she mentioned that they did not prescribe Paxlovid to anyone so far, however its not harmful it seems so they just left on me I am not sure to take them or not, and they said I can have Tylenol extra strength as suggested to reduce fever. I have a question that just Tylenol treats Covid?
My sister in law currently has Covid. Thank you for this information.
I went to the ER at 6 weeks pregnant had just tested positive for covid the day before. The doctors said I wasn’t high risk enough for paxlovid. Now I’m in day 8 and oxygen is good but I have a very uncomfortable feeling in my lungs. How long does this symptom usually last? My 5th covid shot was like 10 months ago. Do you think that’s protecting me at all?
Thank you for this! It was really informative
Thank you for sharing this. It’s really helpful to remove my concern! I’m 20 weeks pregnant and got Covid now. I’m lucky to be able to have Paxlovid from my doctor but I had a huge concern about it. It did reduce my serious symptoms quickly. Im just not sure if I should finish the dose as there’s no enough data for pregnancy. Thank you for your helpful sharing.
Did you end up finishing it?
What about the loss of smell and taste? I’m 29 weeks got covid 3 days ago and now lost sense of smell, are there any studies on that? Will be baby not have a sense of smell?
I’m in my 2nd trimester. 15 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with Covid today. My primary doc said I can’t take paxlivid because I’m pregnant but I was hoping that I could take it so it can help. I don’t have any serious underlying conditions but they just told me to take OTC medicine. I called OBGYN after and they didn’t recommend it or mention it to me so I’m just currently using otc medicine like mucinex and Tylenol cold and flu stuff and lots of beneficial vitamins. You think I should push the paxlivid if my symptoms get worse? So far they’ve been the same as yours and mild.
I can’t give personal medical advice online, but in the video I explain both experts recommendations from major medical societies and my own thoughts in how I approach patients. I also have resources in the video descriptions.
I'm in the same boat as you, doctor won't prescribed the paxlovid to me since I'm pregnant.
My healthy 34 yr old daughter contracted the new Imnicron variant a week ago. She is 16 weeks pregnant. Vomiting all day with headache. Went to ER got IV fluids. Now 3 days later she feels better. Didn't require hospitalization. She and her husband are adamant anti vaccers. Her 1 yr old was also positive. What kind of risk is there for complications in her pregnancy?
So glad you and your family and new babe are doing well and recovered. How did your 18 month old do with it?
He did well and had “mild symptoms” which were worse than most cold he’s had. He had fevers that responded to ibuprofen and Tylenol and definitely was more tired that usual. The first 24 hours he was the most fussy and did better after that.
Hey Dr Perez, I am also 24 weeks pregnant and I am on my day 5 of covid + but my OB doctor just prescribed me paxlovid. I am improving but currently dealing with dry cough and nasal congestion. Should I still take it ? Also does paxlovid help prevent pre term birth ? Thanks!
Please if you took Paxlovid how did it go please let me know? My sister is 10 wks and they want to give it to her. Please if you got it let me know 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@nataliap2705hey i did not take paxlovid because they prescribed me on my 6th day of covid and i was already improving. I verified with my OB and she said palxovid could prevent pre-term delivery.
I’m 35 weeks today exactly and I felt awful two mornings in a row for about half an hour but then felt fine but after I left my fetal
Medicine appointment today I went downhill super fast and was shivering so badly I was banging into the hallway while running ti hop
In a boiling hot shower for the third time. I’m
single from two days after getting pregnant and have a 2 year old toddler so totally alone. I had preeclampsia in 2020 Witt my little girl that turned into HELLP syndrome and we both nearly died and had to have an emergency life saving c-section at 35/4. She was only the size of a 28 weeker as she got cerebral redistribution syndrome due to my placenta stopping working due to the HELLP.
It was terrifying. This pregnancy was going so well until today when I got home from
FMU I just got so sick but I’m
Double vaccinated (student nurse) and so mum told me to take a test while I was on the phone to her and it tested dark dark positive on the RAT test at home within seconds. It was like a super strong pregnancy test! I didn’t get Covid the entire pandemic. I am
SO SORE. I can’t sleep. Shortness of breath. Terrible congestion. Shivering then overheating. Pretty sure my two year old has it too but don’t know if it’s worth traumatising her trying to do a test. What do you think?
25 weeks today. Positive test today and Not vaccinated. Just got prescribed Paxlovid. Came here to say thank you for sharing this!!
How’s everything going with you? My wife just caught covid as well and she’s 20 weeks and unvaccinated as well. This is the first Tim else ever tested positive.
I’m 3 months pp and my baby is fine. The medication made me nervous since it’s new but thankfully it worked out 🙏🏻 btw they said I was high risk since I’m unvaccinated and had covid before and was pregnant. That metallic taste was gross tho
Wondering what you would recommend for a high risk patient who may not be pregnant- paxlovid v monoclonal antibodies? I see such conflicting information. What would you recommend for your parents?
These medications are meant to keep high risk individuals out of the hospital and from dying. They should be a consideration for anyone high risk. They should talk to their individual doctor about their scenario.
I was 8 weeks pregnant when I got covd..but what was weird I didn’t know I was pregnant during that time..im currently 24weeks n when I had my appointment yesterday my dr told me to take aspirin 81mgs once a day cause I was exposed to covd back in July but I’m a little nervous to do so….
I’m 8weeks now. My midwife said I should take baby aspirin 81mg after 12 weeks to prevent blood clots because I had Covid last year. What do you think of this? Do you suggest this to your patients? This is baby #4 for me, but first since Covid happened
Here for comments
What ended up happening
My friend was denied paxlovid because she is nursing and she was someone that really could have used it - she had a horrible time. It sounds like if it's safe for pregnancy, it should be for nursing?
I talk about this a lot in the last video! I have a special section on it.
I'm 15 weeks I am vaccinated and I did have my booster but I missed the recent vaccination.. My doctor prescribed me paxlovid. I did take it it did give me that nasty taste in my mouth that just last and it kept making me fall asleep.. and I did take it for the full 5 days but before my doctor gave me the medication he asked me when did I test positive for covid and at what day was I when I first felt my symptoms because if I was 5 days past the symptoms that began they couldn't give me the medication so I think I was at day 3 of symptoms when they prescribed me the medication I don't know if that means anything or anything like that... but I am finished taking the medication I do feel much better my only symptoms I had which I thought was strep throat was my throat was burning very bad it started out with and then became a dry cough and then with the medication all I did again was fall asleep a lot.. I drank plenty of water kept my windows open in my room I did quarantine everyone in my house caught covet after that but I've just stayed away from everybody and now my kids and my husband or not feverish and they feel much better but I'm still wearing a mask even in my own house and gloves.. I was scared to take the medication but I did take it and if I must say I felt better really fast but one day after the medication was done I still was very very tired so I slept an extra like 2 days I mean don't get me wrong I woke up ate food drank and then I would fall asleep so my husband was more like the maid I felt really bad but he took care of all of us and we're all healthy right now I guess I'll come back at the end my pregnancy and tell you if it gave me any effects or anything to my baby so for the most part I'll just keep praying to God keeping my fingers crossed and pray that everything else goes well.. I really like this video and I hope my comment helps don't be afraid to take this medication I can't speak for the other but it definitely works for me I definitely feel much better and I do feel my baby moving around and things so I don't feel that nervous and I did order a Doppler off of Amazon for 80 bucks just so I can make sure my baby's heart will still beating if that'll make you feel any better...
How are you both now?
And how are you now?
@@josephjones400 Thanks for Asking. Update time. So I recommend the prescription paxlovid. It cured me much faster than people that have been just quarantine for two weeks. And I tested negative faster than any of the other people. That have just quarantined. They say it takes up to 3 months for some people that just quarantine to test negative again. But I took the prescription paxlovid why'll pregnant and I test negative two weeks after I took the prescription.. I feel good and my baby is doing fine. I'm due in June and I have not had any complications since taking the prescription... I hope this comment helps
Thank you for this video!! Can you make a video about monkey pox and the concern for pregnant women?
Our granddaughter had Covid when 24 weeks back in 2020. Her child will be 2 in February and has been severely COPD since birth. He has NEVER NOT been congestion free. He has seen Pulmonary & ENT specialists, consistently has breathing treatments and nothing else can be done because of his age. She has brought up the fact to all these physicians that we believe his issues were inutero and they shrug their shoulders. Has any studies been done on the aftereffects of the Covid babies ?
I’ve got covid currently at 20 weeks. I got vaccinated nearly 2 years ago and chose not to have booster as my nurse friend advised me not to. It has hit me fairly hard but my obgyn said just to have paracetamol. I don’t like the idea of taking these newly developed drugs to ease symptoms.
mam can u plz share how are u feeling now??how is baby doing??as im in same condition, didn’t get booster,started symptoms last night got positive..12 weeks pregnant 😢
@@rubinazain684 How are you feeling now? Kindly do let know as my wife is + since yesterday . 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I catch covid at 24 weeks and lost my baby he came down prematurely wasnt given anything n am.not vaccinated.
Omgg I’m soo sorry did you take anything while you had covid
37 weeks and tested positive 😩 on the struggle 🚌
I'm 35 weeks and tested positive , hope you okay
what happened to your babies? did you gave birth to healthy babies? thanks
@@joradventurechannel yes I did give birth to a beautiful baby girl.
@@mirabe6467 your response gave me ease. I got tested positive today and I’m about 21 weeks and stressing over my baby’s health.
@@andreachavez3603 dont worry to much, it's gonna pass. In 2 weeks you be okay. I have a beautiful baby girl .your baby will be stronger after this . Just talk to your gynecologist that's all.
What happens if you're pregnant and test positive for covid but only take tylenol and no other meds? Will something happen to the baby? Will that increase miscarriages??
Had to mute due to rapid blabbering... don't really believe you.
She has also avoided all these questions. I don't believe her either. Probably out here to sell vaccines or pax..
Is that another vax commercial? 🤮
You should watch. She is talking about treatments for covid.
@@mdgirl7777 I watched and got nothing from her. In comments section, I have also read so many important questions asked, but she never responded. 🚩 🚩
