Jessie Cave has been hospitalized after contracting Covid while pregnant

Harry Potter star Jessie Cave has been hospitalized after testing positive for Covid-19 while pregnant with her fourth child.

The actress, best known for her role as Lavender Brown in the film adaptations of the hit books, said the virus hit her hard and her symptoms lasted weeks.

Cave, 34, shared a photo with her more than 200,000 Instagram followers, showing her lying on a hospital bed.

She wrote: “Triage again… Has anyone had covid in their 3rd trimester and has it hit them like a ton of bricks for weeks?”

In a second post, she added, “Also – has anyone taken the nausea medication and made it feel worse?”

Last month, Cave shared with her followers that she tested positive and also had “constant nausea” from her pregnancy.

In response to her post, comedian Felicity Ward said: “Oh honey. I am sorry. Like your body doesn’t have enough to deal with. Sending you lots of love, dear.”

Sara Pascoe, also a stand-up, added: “Oh Jessie I’m so sorry this is lazy.”

Cave and her partner, comedian Alfie Brown, already have three children, the youngest of whom was born in October 2020.
