DWTS' Witney Carson Makes A Scary Admission About The Birth Of Her Son
James Rogers
Sadly, Carson is not the first celebrity to test positive for COVID while expecting, with a pregnant Shawn Johnson sharing she was infected with a "mild case" (via People). On Instagram, the gymnast shared she was suffering from a cough and headache at the time, but has since recovered. Counting On's Joy-Anna Duggar also tested positive for COVID during her pregnancy, noting about her symptoms and those of her husband, "We both had body aches, slight fever and lost our taste and smell" (via Us Weekly).
We don't know what symptoms Carson suffered with — but it seems like Duggar and Johnson, she has since recovered. Meanwhile, according to the Centers for Disease Control, pregnant women may be at an increased risk of developing severe illness from COVID-19. We are just so glad that by all accounts, the stars who have talked about their experiences with the illness during pregnancy, and their babies, seem healthy at this time.
