I am beyond thankful when I gave birth to my baby during the pandemic, I gave birth at a very relaxed birth center. My husband was there, we just did everything as normal. We have 5 boys and pregnant with a girl.
Had my twin boys in 2020 ,no visitors the one thing that I could say is that we really had time to bond properly and quiet it was great .
I just want to say, all nursing starth Doctors thank you all so very much for all the wonderful hard work you have achieved over the time of covid thank you again 👏💐🌺💜🙏
Stacey is wonderful❤❤. This one is a testament to her bravery as a journalist.
AS A Midwife, based on a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, we already work hard to keep our Sick, and Very Premature Babies alive. Often , already needing ITU and Ventilation . You'd all moan if your babies had contracted Covid, on top of that, and then died !!! Stick with commenting on what you know about . THAT BABY WAS RESUSCITATED SUCCESSFULLY IN A PRIVATE THEATRE CORRIDOR. NOT A PUBLIC CORRIDOR . ONLY STAFF FROM THE THEATRE CAN ACCESS THESE SPACES . IVE WORKED IN 4 COUNTRIES, FOR OVER 30 YEARS. THIS IS OFTEN THE NORM,( IN 3 OF THE COUNTRIES ,)AS THEATRES ARE TOO SMALL, CROWDED AND OFTEN TOO COLD, !!!! THE RESUSCITAIRE WAS SET UP, READY FOR ACTION SHOULD THE BABY NEED IT, IN A WARM, PRIVATE SPACE . CLOSE TO MUM !😡🤪🤡🤡
You’re incredible Stacey. Thank you for sharing these stories. Cheers from Oklahoma City 🥰
I love Stacey, she is so down to earth 🌍 and of course, she is like me ( a beautiful Lutonian)! Love her accent. It sounds really nice because I have been living in Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸 for just over 30 years. But I still love the Lutonian Accent.
I discovered I was pregnant the day lockdown was declared. I spent nine months in isolation. We couldn’t find childcare for my older two. My husband almost missed the birth. I was covid tested, stuck with an IV and was in transition simultaneously. And I pushed in a mask. We had to keep our masks on constantly during our hospital stay. That was a year. At least our little guy was worth it all.
I can't imagine going through that Caroline. I am glad that you were blessed with your little guy.
@@jannapeters8506 thank you. He certainly is a blessing and such a joyful little guy. You’d never know he was born in such adversity. He’s also needed a few surgeries and has been such a trooper. Love him to pieces. 🥰
Watching this now in 2023 it all looks so bizarre
Why? Covid is still around, people seem to have forgotten about it
@@dustmite723no , people have not likely forgotten it but decided life must go on
I waited until I was 59 years old to become a Nana. My daughter was having her first baby she was 37 years old and really wanted me to be there at the birth. Unfortunately because of covid I could not be there and they were questioning if they were going to allow her husband in there. I told her if they did not allow her husband in there I totally was going to walk into the hospital and have a major fit. She was not going to go through that alone. She ended up giving birth and over 9 lb baby boy. My daughter has always been very petite and because of that she ends up having to have a C-section because he could not deliver the baby naturally. I was bummed that I could not be there by her side but tell myself I am happy that at least they let her husband.
That must've been so hard, especially because your daughter wanted you there but the restrictions didn't allow it. Indeed glad she at least had her husband by her side.
My youngest was born January '21 (homebirth) and I believe they advised not to have people over. We still let the grandparents on both sides visit us and they also held the baby (with a facemask though) but all other family had to window watch. Safety above all but it still sucked. Newborn babies are so precious and they are small for only so long. I felt really sad and guilty towards all family that had to watch from a distance and weren't able to hold the baby. It is what it is, in the end everyone kept safe that way and now there luckily are no restrictions haha.
My kids call my mom Nana too 💕 my mom called her mom's mom nanny 🥰 I just couldn't call my mom grandma lol
It wasn't about YOU, no matter how " long you waited". As a Midwife, interfering Grandmother's are the absolute bain of my working life .....Let parents have time as a couple, to enjoy THEIR newborn, for God's sake. So many desperate new mums would BEG me to stop grandmothers from Visiting them!! There's plenty of time to 'take over ' THEIR BABY , when the poor sods get home 😡😡
I am totally confused by your first sentence, what do you mean you waited 59 years to become a grandmother? Wtf it wasn't your decision. Explain that sentence!
My daughter had her first in 2022, I desperately wanted to be there. She’s pregnant again and again I can’t be there but it’s because I am being a Grammie and taking care of my granddaughter !
Carrying a newborn baby that isn't breathing into a _corridor..._ I'm so glad covid is mostly gone because this is *insane*
Covid is not mostly gone, it’s just not being reported… I just had my first bout of covid.
I wish it was gone. Unfortunately, myself, my son and granddaughter just had covid before Christmas. I agree it's better than it was but, we're still dealing with that mess. I wish it would go away for good.
I think the pandemic is the new baby boom.
Looking back at all this ridiculous hysteria, dont come at me l worked on the "front line" it wasnt as bad as made out in the media.
The C risk is lower in the corridor, sure!
I know right 😂😂
Because moving 4feet is going to change? That is a hallway compared to a steril surgical room. People weren't thinking straight during Covid. Acting so wild.
WHY SO LITTLE LIKES…?
I understand that if you want the dad at the birth and it's not possible that must be hard however, personally, I would love to have had the option of not having them there!
Oh, GOOD GRIEF 😂😡
I agree. Over kill
