In many ways, “family planning” is a misnomer. The “planning” part only goes so far. Even with all the tools at your disposal, a lot of it is mostly out of your control and up to chance. A million little things have to go exactly right to bring life into the world.
When you throw a global pandemic into the equation, the typical uncertainty that comes with starting a family is amplified to tremendous proportions.
In this episode of Transmission, we explore how the response to COVID-19 has altered the lives of growing families.
We meet a doula who remains dedicated to helping new moms in the Somali community, despite strict social-distancing rules that complicate visits. And we hear how one couple is planning for the future in the face of overwhelming uncertainty.
