LISTEN: Pregnancy and birth in this 'new normal'
Pregnancy and birth are beautiful and surreal experiences. During this
time, women seek the help of family and friends to get through this new
phase in their lives. But, COVID-19 has forced us all to
change the way we live, and with the advent of social distancing rules,
there has never been a stranger time to be pregnant - or to be a new mother.
This is why we've created a new podcast series to help moms and moms-to-be navigate this strange new normal.
If you're pregnant, you may be experiencing many
emotions regarding giving birth or even how to juggle being a new mom,
in this new world. That's where practising child-care practitioner,
Jenni Johnson comes in.
