Krissa M . New Mom

COVID KEPT KRISSA ’ S MOM OUT OF THE DELIVERY ROOM . FORTUNATELY her nurses WERE MOMS TOO .

Krissa had always imagined her mom would be by her side when she gave birth . That was the plan . Until COVID changed everything . She needed the emotional support of her mom , someone who ’ d been through it before . But when the day came , she actually found herself in the care of several other moms — some of her nurses . They held her hand during delivery , taught her to nurse , and offered motherly advice . It certainly wasn ’ t the same as having her own mom there , but to Krissa it meant everything to have at least a mom there . Let alone three .
