One month ago, I was 38 weeks pregnant, full of anxiety, anger and fear. Hospital protocols were changing daily. Visitors were banned. Laboring women could only have one person with them. This isn't what I pictured delivering my third baby would look like.

Two weeks later, my husband and I walked into labor and delivery and were handed masks. We were told to wear those any time any one entered our room. The nurses were always masked, as was the doctor. This was my third baby and the whole process was so different than the other two.

During my first two deliveries we had guests in and out while I labored and more guests after delivery. There were no masks. No scary protocols. It was a celebration and everyone was invited.

This time, it was just my husband and I. The room was quiet. No chaos of visitors. The conversations were just him and I. Just the two of us for the first time in six and a half years.

I'm just going to say it: delivering during the pandemic was a blessing in disguise.

We delivered with quiet hallways in a quiet room filled with just the three of us. We welcomed this baby with no expectations of people rushing in during skin-to-skin. We established nursing without having to wear an awkward nursing cover.

It was just us and our little guy. It was perfect.

Twenty-four hours later we returned home. Due to social distancing, there were no visitors and no school. There was no early morning school drop offs or mid-day school pick ups. There was no "panic cleaning" for visitors. There was no schedule and low expectations.

Our girls have been able to bond with their little brother all day, everyday. Having no schedule with a newborn has been dreamy. We are all sleeping, nursing, and bonding with no interruptions. There's no pressure to get out of the house. There's no reason to try to squeeze into pre-pregnancy clothes.

If you are a pregnant momma set to deliver during all the chaos of the world right now, rest easy. Take a deep breath. While this is probably not how you imagined your delivery, find the blessing through this mess.

Enjoy this break from real life, snuggle up with your newborn and enjoy every last minute of the newborn stage. Too soon, that teeny tiny baby won't be teeny tiny anymore.

In light of the current COVID-19 threat in order to minimize the threat to you, your baby, your family, and your healthcare provider and healthcare team, Seattle and Tacoma Luxury Doula will be moving to all virtual support (excluding sibling doulas).

Our number one priority is to keep you safe, and it would be negligent to potentially be part of the spread. So much is still unknown regarding transfer of the virus to a fetus, and we will not risk your safety or that of your baby.

Many obstetric offices are also halting all in person appointments, except for high risk patients.

All consultations, prenatal appointments, labor support, and postpartum support will be conducted virtually at this point by our team. While we work to figure out the best platform for this (Zoom, FaceTime, Skype), we will still be available via phone, text, and email. As always, please feel free to reach out to us at any time of the day or night to discuss any questions or concerns. Please note that in order to guarantee a quick response, a phone call is necessary.

If you are experiencing an emergency, contact 911 immediately.

This is a challenging time, and our mission is to help you navigate as best as possible. Please reach out if you have questions or concerns.

The CDC has reported that they still don’t know all the risks COVID-19 might post to pregnant women, that uncertainty is causing expecting mothers and those who care for them, to take precaut…
