Shawn Johnson offers an update on her pregnancy and her battle with COVID-19

Just days after revealing she has tested positive for COVID-19 while expecting her second child, Shawn Johnson gave her fans an update.

The 29-year-old Olympic gold medalist took to her Instagram story on Tuesday, thanking her fans for ‘all of your messages.’

She added the messages were ‘very sweet,’ acknowledging that, ‘I do still consider myself a very lucky one.’

‘I think I have it pretty mild,’ she continued, though she also added that she thinks Monday night was her ‘worst night.’

‘I coughed all night. That was bad. Like during the daytime, I feel really good. My headaches are gone,’ she continued. 

She continued that her ‘sore throat was gone,’ and her ‘stuffiness is getting better,’ adding she was hopeful but yet still nervous.  

‘So hopefully that means I’m on the up and up. Yes, I’m nervous about being pregnant and the baby,’ Johnson added.

‘Just trying to get enough rest so I can heal. I miss my husband and baby girl, but again, it’s the least I can do to keep our family healthy,’ she added.

She had previously revealed over the weekend that she was quarantining from her husband Andrew East and their 14-month old daughter Drew Hazel.

The gymnast added another update, since fans were asking about her asthma.

‘I, so far, knock on wood, don’t feel compromised yet, breathing-wise. I feel winded, but that’s pregnancy,’ she added plainly.

‘Since I had asthma my whole life, I’m pretty hyper-aware of my breathing and when it’s labored and when it’s difficult,’ she added.

‘So far, I feel pretty good that way. I can get deep breaths and everything, so hopefully that stays that way,’ she concluded.

Johnson won the Olympic gold medal at the 2008 Olympics in the balance beam, and she announced her retirement in 2012.

She married Andrew East in 2016, and the couple share one child together.
