I’ve been pregnant since the beginning of the Covid-19 chaos and I’ve realized that this time around is no different than when I was pregnant three years ago with my daughter, yet I’m treated as if the very nature of me being pregnant makes me fragile and treated as if I’m in a state of “sickness” and that I have to live in a bubble or I’ll contract covid.

This is what is inherently wrong with our current healthcare— pregnancy is not a disease and informed pregnant women should be heard.
