Lockdown Babies

Natalie: “Even though we’re not in a lockdown, Covid still impacted my birth experience”


Listen Later

Natalie was one of the early guests on the Lockdown Babies podcast and she’s now had her second baby, 2 years on from her first. Natalie tells host Phillippa she gave birth to her second son on the kitchen floor after her labour progressed too quickly to get to the hospital!

Natalie spent 5 days in hospital while baby Alby was treated for an infection and says while parts of her pregnancy and birth were “better” this time around, unfortunately she was still impacted by Covid restrictions.

Your host is Phillippa Guillou, a journalist and radio presenter whose own baby was born at the height of the pandemic. You can get in touch with Phillippa here.
