Lockdown babies: New wave of joy for parents
Updated | By Breakfast with Martin Bester
For new and expectant parents, the lockdown changed the way they experienced pregnancy, birth, and becoming parents.
The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way South Africa and the world operates in many ways.
Having a baby should be a positive experience, even during a pandemic, but some parents did not have the ‘traditional’ hospital experience.
Martin Bester spoke to a few new parents to hear how they experienced having a baby in the house and raising a baby without family visiting or doing activities outside.
A few parents shared their experiences, including a good friend to Breakfast with Martin Bester, Megan Harrington-Johnson. She is an attorney from HJW in Johannesburg. HJW Attorneys was recognised as one of Africa’s Leading Boutique Law Firms.
