That everything was new and no one knew much about the virus contributed to Emelie's worries.
The tough restrictions on childbirth meant that everyone was asked to have a support person in reserve if the partner should have symptoms and not be admitted.
- I was very worried that he would not be allowed to join.
He was also allergic to pollen and it was not possible to determine if he was snotty about it or because he had a cold, I talked a lot about this with my midwife, she says.
The birth went well, and Nellie came out, who today is almost two years old.
The pandemic was not noticed at all at the birth, more than that they took the tempo of the partner and the mother is they came in.
"No one came when I pressed the clock"
But on BB it got tough.
The lack of sleep after the birth and the need to take care of her own hygiene after giving birth meant that she needed someone who could help her with Nellie.
But that person did not exist.
- I was almost a little scared of what could have happened.
This is not a fun time to think back.
The staff was extremely stressed and it took time before they arrived when I pressed the clock.
It was noticed that they had a very high workload.
Emelie does not want to criticize the staff she thought fought on as best they could, but the experience at BB has made her not want to give birth again in a pandemic.
