Introduction to the Lockdown Mums
Itβs said, βIt takes a village to raise a child.β But families with babies born during COVID have been left asking, βWhereβs the village?β
In a series of intimate conversations we hear the experiences of new mothers navigating birth, relationships and the ups and downs of learning how to parent in a pandemic.
As the world shut down, routine check-ups were cancelled; baby groups called off and proud grandparents were kept away from cuddles.
New parents literally had their βvillageβ disappear overnight. And now, as many families begin to re-unite and return to a more normal life after months of isolation, these post-pandemic mums face a daunting question: How do you navigate re-entry when your own world and the world outside are so fundamentally changed?
In a set of eleven conversations, each new mum discusses how COVIDβs transformed them from the mum they thought theyβd be, to the one their family needed to be to survive.
