‘Harry Potter’ star Jesse 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 adaptations of popular books, said she was hit hard by the virus and her symptoms continued for several weeks.
Cave, 34, shared a photo of herself in a hospital bed with her more than 200,000 Instagram followers.
She wrote: “Sorting, again… Has anyone else had Covid in their 3rd trimester and hit them like a ton of bricks for weeks?”
In the second post, she added, “Besides, has anyone taken nausea medicine and gotten worse?”
Last month, Cave told her followers that she tested positive and was also experiencing “constant nausea” due to her pregnancy.
Comedian Felicity Ward, responding to her post, said, “Oh honey. I’m sorry. Like your body has nothing to do. Sending you lots of love, honey.”
Sarah Pascoe, also standing, added, “Oh Jessie, I’m so sorry this is rotten.”
Cave and her partner, comedian Alfie Brown, already have three children, the youngest of whom was born in October 2020.
The couple initially named him Abraham “Bam” Benjamin, but shortly thereafter announced that they had changed his name to Tenn.
