Rebecca: “No one had any definite answers”

This week on the podcast, we hear from Rebecca, another lockdown mum who was forced to be apart from her family after her second baby was born in March 2021. She tells host Phillippa that although her daughter was born a whole year after the pandemic started, “it felt as though nothing in maternity had changed since the first lockdown”. Rebecca says she was left with PTSD from the ordeal and she doesn’t understand why maternity restrictions have taken so long to be lifted.

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.
