Lonely due to a COVID

Having your baby is such an overwhelming but amazing experience, I believe it’s a time you as parents really rely on each other and the support from one another. To only have my husband with me throughout my C-section and one hour after was awful. I really struggled. I felt it was a time we should experience together, it’s his baby as much as it’s mine and I needed him after my C-section. My day staff were absolutely amazing, but night time I felt so alone and forgotten about.
