Giving Birth

Available for over a year

A montage of our lockdown mums talking about giving birth during the pandemic. Some had anxious waits to find out if their partners could be with them during labour, leaving dads-to-be at the hospital doors to be induced. Others chose c-sections so they could plan what would happen. In the first few hours after welcoming their little ones to the world, most of our lockdown mums were left alone for the first time with a baby. Here's an introduction to their birth stories. Hear more of their stories on BBC Radio Stoke and on BBC Sounds.
