Pregnancy during coronavirus is not what most of us envisioned when we pictured our beautiful, goddess-like pregnancies and newborn days filled with festive baby showers, pregnancy/mommy & me fitness classes, breastfeeding support groups, and just lots of opportunities for community with other women in our shoes. Not only are we missing out on community, but the unknowns surrounding this virus have us worried about our family's health and how a newborn [...]
