#17 | Roundtable: How COVID-19 Protocols are Affecting Pregnant Couples

Send us a textPregnant and birthing mothers face unprecedented challenges in birth choices during the Coronavirus pandemic. Not only are they concerned about exposure to the virus; but also, many are being told they may have to give birth alone - without the presence of their very own partners, let alone their doulas and other immediate family members. As hospitals across the country have begun to ban labor support, expecting parents face the possible reality of not sharing the birth of their child with each other — and the babies’ fathers missing out on the birth entirely. Today, three expectant mothers share the impacts of social isolation during pregnancy, and their frustrations, hopes, and suddenly-shifting plans for giving birth in the time of Coronavirus. Tune in for this intimate discussion on Covid-19 and its emotional impact on pregnancy and birth.ACOG: Coronavirus (COVID-19), Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: A Message for PatientsCDC Update: COVID-19 for Pregnancy and Breastfeeding WomenNational Perinatal Association: COVID-19La Leche League International: Coronavirus and PregnancyHarvard Medical School: Pregnant and Worried About the New Coronavirus?International Confederation of Midwives Statement on Women's Rights During Corona PandemicCorona Virus Global Tracker* * * * * * * * * *If you enjoyed this episode of the Down To Birth Show, please share with your pregnaPostpartum SoothePostpartum Soothe™ is 100% organic.
