(Picture credit: Ashvin Tiwana)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\">F<\/span>our weeks before her due date, Sarah Wratten, now 31, was looking forward to her maternity leave. A week later, she and every other pregnant woman in the country were classified as an at risk  group, being told to take care and not go out due to the lockdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cases were increasing. \u201cIt suddenly got very scary, and it was unclear whether or not my husband, Max, would be allowed into the hospital with me,\u201d she said. She also feared contracting the virus and then not being able to give birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was really worried about my baby. It was absolutely terrifying hearing about the number of deaths on the news. I was frantically googling, \u2018Do newborn babies die from Covid-19&#8242;,&#8221; she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Giving birth during a lockdown <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>When her baby was due, Max drove Sarah to the hospital. \u201cMax wasn\u2019t allowed into the hospital with me until I was literally in active labour, as it was the rule at the time. I walked into the hospital by myself, with no one there, in the middle of the night, while having massive contractions,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI had forgotten my essentials bag and I remember thinking, \u201cdon\u2019t panic, stay calm,\u201d and actually, the hospital staff were incredible. They took all the pandemic fear out of me and my son\u2019s birth was really calm and lovely,\u201d said Sarah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sarah gave birth in April 2020. \u201cPeople say giving birth is the hardest thing you\u2019ll ever do, so if you\u2019ve given birth during a bloody pandemic, then you\u2019ve absolutely smashed it out of the park.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>People say giving birth is the hardest thing you&#8217;ll ever do, so if you&#8217;ve given birth during a bloody pandemic, then you&#8217;ve absolutely smashed it out of the park<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lessons from staying home<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>A family of three is now four. After returning home, both Sarah and Max were working from home, with their newborn son Ellis, and daughter, Evie, who wasn\u2019t able to go to the nursery. \u201cWe never used the word Coronavirus at home, because we didn\u2019t want to scare her,\u201d she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sarah\u2019s parents were briefly by her side after the birth of their grandchild, but couldn\u2019t stay long due to the travel restrictions. \u201cIt was really tough saying goodbye to my parents, thinking how I\u2019m not sure when we\u2019ll actually see them again,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, she said, \u201cIt was hard for my husband because we didn\u2019t have a place to work in the house besides our daughter\u2019s bedroom. He had to do his calls with Ellis screaming in the background, and no one could help look after the babies for us to get some extra sleep.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there were some positives. Sarah shared, \u201cI look back now on photos of us at that time and I remember how hard it was, especially with a newborn who doesn\u2019t sleep, and trying to get a hang of feeding him, but with that said, those were some really fond memories.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She continued, \u201cWe got so much closer as a family and my husband, hats off to him, I couldn\u2019t have been in lockdown with anyone else but him, he was absolutely incredible. I fell in love with him all over again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-vivid-purple-background-color has-vivid-purple-color is-style-wide\"
