Hi baby girl. I atalia shoes born January
26th at 11:39 AM to Barakel High.
She was the only person
I had when I was sick
in the hospital alone.
So I did talk to her.
Obviously I could just talk.
No response back,
except maybe some kicks. She
would 4 pounds, 8 ounces.
Believe it or not,
covid is affected my life dramatically.
I woke up that Wednesday and I felt
like I couldn't breathe. I felt like I.
Something was on my chest.
I couldn't catch my breath.
I couldn't even get up to go
to the restroom unfortunately.
You know, being pregnant,
that's what you do a lot.
I went to the ER immediately
and they kind of quaranti me.
They put me in a little room and
they were kind of hesitant like
are you really sick with the covid
or is it just pregnancy symptoms
plus the cold that you just
recently had so they took me back.
They did the test about 2 hours
later it came back positive and this
admittedly immediately set me up to
the labor and delivery unit because
they wanted to monitor me and.
You know, obviously I wasn't breathing right.
I needed oxygen and I stood there for.
A week in the labor and delivery
that was horrible.
I was shaking like profusely
like and it was a fever.
My feels like almost 103,
almost 100 for every night.
I would get it but my body
was not stop shaking.
I felt like a Guinea pig, you know,
because nobody knew what to do,
how to treat me, 'cause again.
I'm pregnant and with Colvet so bad.
You know they seem positive
cobett women but nothing like me
again they're like what do we do?
What do we do with you?
We don't you know like.
You your your severe, but we've
never dealt with the pregnant woman.
You know, with your symptoms,
I did go into labor.
Premature labor.
Because of it.
I had no complications prior
to me getting sick.
I was perfectly fine,
you know, perfectly fine.
I just never could get better.
Ever and then, like I said,
up until like January 5th
I was still symptomatic.
I was super congested I I felt like I had.
Something you might you know.
My chest heavy.
One point I was like at a 70
something and that was scary.
'cause that's when I saw my
feet and my fingers blue.
Sorry,
I I didn't think I was going to even live.
Honestly,
that's when my doctor told me get on
the phone and FaceTime your family.
An right there appearing to
me because she like her face.
You could just see her face
like the fear for me.
And when she said that like are
you going to tell him like my
last words or am I going to do?
Is that going to be the last
time I talked to him?
Because you know Covid impacted me so.
Differently,
you know compared to
other people and pregnant.
You know,
I'd love if I'm sick. Is
she going to be sick?
You know, 'cause of covid?
Because there's no.
There's not a lot of information on that,
and I feel like they're not
even doing a lot of studying
on pregnant women with covid
original due date is March 14th,
but she was born on January 26th.
Sometimes she'll have really good days and
sometimes she won't show her oxygen has
been swinging lately.
Her breathing is where she's
kind of struggling a little.
Now she'll do kind of good and
then they'll turn her down and kind
of back and forth like. Like now.
That's 7978, let's see. This
is what happens.
Those are those are not
very long. I know they
there they take more than 15
seconds and these stimulate her.
She's the only person
that knows what exactly what I went through.
You know, pregnant covid not knowing
what to do. I had a hospitalist they
pomologist come see me and they're like
well we're afraid of pregnant women
because they don't know what to do.
You know at that time they
kind of just monitor me.
They didn't really have any really
answers because it's so new and they
really didn't have anybody like me.
Pregnant Anne with Covid with
severe symptoms. She's like
my little best friend. It does make
me really sad and depressed. You know
it's called. It's caused all that.
