In this episode, Amy speaks with Jesse Tonkinson’s partner, Annie Lunt, a first-time mother whose pandemic experience included an unexpected pregnancy, moving across state lines, and many telehealth appointments.

“My pregnancy was probably the most surprising thing I could have anticipated in life. Jesse and I had just gotten engaged, and I had chosen to use an IUD. In January [2020] I found out I was pregnant.”

Highlights:

0:50- “Meet Annie and her little one”

2:04- “And then COVID hit”

2:20- “I don’t think unexpected pregnancies get a lot of talk space”

3:03- “Being a stay-at-home mom wasn’t really on the top of my list of things to do”

3:20- “I’ve been more depressed in my life…no one really saw me pregnant”

3:46- “I had two in-person appointments”

4:06- “When it went virtual”

4:53- “I know women who gave birth alone”

5:11- “Appointments from home”

5:59- “How do you feel when you take your newborn out into the world?”
