We are thinking about survival during this emergency and bringing new life into this new world.

Giving birth is an emotional experience, but what about during this pandemic? And then there is bringing a baby into a world of lockdowns and restrictions. We hear from new mums in New York, Dublin and London.

What is it like to be in prison and pregnant? One woman in the US describes her experience inside.

Among the millions of cases of Covid-19 around the world, it is important to remember that most people do recover. We hear the stories of four people who have been in intensive care with the disease, facing the fear of dying, but who have survived to share their stories. Among them is Matilda in Ghana, who had to deal with having Covid-19 and carrying a baby. She also describes the stigma that comes with having the disease. But there is good news: she has just given birth to a healthy baby girl.
