Fae: “I don't think they thought twice about women giving birth”

This week we hear from Fae who reflects on some of the positives of having her baby in lockdown. Whilst Fae says she’s angry that some women were forced to labour and give birth alone, she’s grateful her family was able to enjoy the newborn bubble together without tons of visitors.

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.
