Covid Baby Boom

[HedgehogPJs]

Just read an article on here suggesting there will be a Covid ‘baby boom’.
AIBU to expect the opposite?
You can’t get the vaccine while you’re pregnant or breastfeeding and they don’t recommend getting pregnant within 2 months of getting the second dose... so I would expect a drop in birth rates if anything?
What do you all think?

Predictions of 569k births for England and Wales in 2021
(down from 640k births in 2019).

Before I had kids, I would have 100% fallen into the category of it making me reassess life, life is short, let’s just go for it, we aren’t getting any younger etc ..

However, having dealt with two kids in lockdown, if I had the hindsight, no thanks 🤣 my youngest was born a few days before lockdown 1.. it’s been a HARD 10 months.

Congratulations! What a blessing in a time like this!
