Although many commentators anticipate a ‘coronavirus baby boom’ next year, for some women hoping to become mothers, 2020 has been difficult.
Many single women hoped to meet partners to settle down and have children with this year, only to find that dating was nearly impossible. Or, women in relationships that might have led to children have seen those relationships end due to the pressures of a global pandemic.
Others may have been in a secure financial predicament but have now lost their job or employment. And of course, IVF clinics shut across the country during the first wave of the pandemic.
We would like to hear from women who feel the pandemic has taken away their last chance to have a baby. How has the pandemic impacted your ability to become a mother?
