NEW MOMS TELL ALL
They were expecting, but they weren’t expecting this: childbirth during a pandemic! As told to Haley Longman
If you’re planning a big gathering and a virus comes along and compels everyone to keep their distance from everyone else, you can always say, “Let’s postpone.” But try telling that to the stork. On the following pages, five local moms (and one special grandma) share with BERGEN the birth stories of their families’ newest additions—including two sets of multiples—who came into this world during the scariest health crisis of our lifetimes. These heartwarming tales prove that even during a period riddled with uncertainty and fear, there are things to be joyful about—and that life goes on.
