Is there a covid19 baby boom?

[sarahb083]

Just curious really! I'm 16 weeks and I'm wondering if there's a baby boom because of covid19. Any midwifes or sonographers out there that have been more busy than usual? Or less?

I’m due in February and haven’t said anything on social media yet as I was slightly worried that I’d be part of a trend but so far I haven’t seen any pregnancy announcements (it’s been quiet on that front all year actually!) but that just speaks for my social group.

I did ask my midwife how number were and she said it was a bit quieter than usual but not drastically - this is in Leeds

Yup I think so

In 15 years we will have the quaranteens

I asked my midwife a few weeks ago and she said that there had been a huge boom in pregnancies during lockdown. I'm from the east of England.
