Of all the times to be pregnant, this would seem to be the least ideal. The coronavirus is disrupting everything, including the experience of being expectant, with many of the women who were previously excited now filled with trepidation about giving birth during a pandemic.

"My biggest worry is my health during this period,” an expectant woman told Saturday Standard. “Ensuring I don't get coronavirus, that I am getting the right vitamins and nutrition during this period. I also fear the hospital environment. I am worried about interaction with other patients and the doctors during antenatal clinics.”
