| Comment | Everyone has their struggles, but feel for new mums in all of this. My wife gave birth in the absolute COVID-19 peak (so far, hopefully), and just as she's starting to return to reality, meet some NCT pals (who we met online!), things are starting to get pulled back. The grandparents weren't allowed to hold the baby for ages early on; couldn't come in the house.
I changed a nappy recently and my mum went 'oh here's how I do it' - I realized literally noone had ever shown us how in person because of all the lockdown, and those sorts of things aren't coming back.
Health isn't just the absence of disease, and includes things like quality of life, seeing friends, feeling you are active and able, and this just absolutely compounds the total shit that is a global pandemic. |
