Covid Labour Pains - "Just Breathe"

Image
If anyone told me when I was in labour with my first baby, that it would be 36 hours before she appeared, I wonder what I would have done? I might have panicked, but, not knowing what was ahead, I managed, one contraction at a time. My husband and I were well-equipped with weeks of Lamaze training and I can still hear him saying 'just breathe' . And if anyone told me, when the first covid lockdowns were announced in March of 2020, that a year later we would be no further ahead, I wonder what we would have thought? I wonder how we may have reacted?  For me, the only thing that made it manageable was the thought that it wouldn't last that long.
