To be honest I already felt weak since a week ago. So when my mom called me and asked me to come, I wanted to refuse, but she said my niece got diarrhea for 5 days already and wanted me to look up the medicines that doctor gave.
I already had a feeling I would get infected, but I still went to my sister house. I gave them the information about the medicine (I asked Google of course). Went home and washed my hand. Only I day after my visit, I got diarrhea. I needed to use bathroom more than 20 times in 8 hours.
I went to hospital because my stomach didn't feel great, got cramped, and I really worried about my baby, but doctors was very hesitant to give me medicine because of my pregnancy. They wanted me to consult my Obgyn first. I told them I will visit my Obgyn tomorrow. They just gave me 2 kind of medicines, for my diarrhea and for my gastric acid.
That night I couldn't slept until nearly morning. The diarrhea did stop, but now I feel lethargic and I couldn't stand too long because I feel dizzy. I also got fever until now. Looks like I am going to take a break here until I feel a lot of better (I lost 5 kg) or fully recover.

I hope it’s just “something” related to pregnancy and not covid. Get well quickly!

You were really ill.
I hope that you recover as the days pass, try to stick to a clear fluid diet so that you do not overwelm your system.
I got really sick for a week's time when I was expecting our second child, our doctor ordered me bedrest for 1 week as there was nothing that they could give to me. I never regained what I lost in strength that week, not until much later then our child was born.

Oh no, did you get a Covid test? That sounds ominous, but I guess you just caught the bug from your niece.
