Grace: “How did we get through it?”

In this week’s episode, we hear from Grace who was forced to live apart from her husband for some of her pregnancy as he worked on the NHS front lines in a Covid intensive care ward. Grace, who's a nurse, also talks about the lack of support she feels she was given postpartum. 

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.
