In PEOPLE’s exclusive sneak peek at next week’s Thursday episode of theFacebook WatchseriesAt Home with the Robertsons,Korie Robertsonrecalls the emotional day she had to take her pregnant daughter Sadie to the hospital as she wasbattling COVID-19.
“When Sadie got it being pregnant — and she was still in her first trimester, so still in that time when she was having morning sickness, dealing with fatigue — that was tough,” she says.
Due to strict health regulations, Korie, 47, was not allowed to go inside the hospital with her daughter.
“You feel really helpless when someone you love is in the hospital alone,” she adds.

“Mine started with a really bad headache,” Sadie previously said on her podcast,WHOA That’s Good, of her symptoms. “Like, a different kind of headache than I’ve ever had — it was like a migraine behind my eye. Then I got the cough — my throat was so red and on fire. It was terrible.”
She also said she experienced brain fog, body aches, a loss of taste and smell, “vivid dreams” and difficulty sleeping despite being “so tired.”
After experiencing dehydration due to a combination of morning sickness and COVID symptoms, she checked into the hospital for several days. And while she’s since recovered, Sadie has said the illness had a lasting impact on her entire family.
“I am a very healthy person, I exercise a lot and eat pretty good. I take care of myself. I honestly thought if I got COVID, it would not be that bad. But no, I had it horribly,” she said. “So don’t think you’re just going to be fine… it is a really tough sickness that you don’t want to get.”
