As Russia targets hospitals across Ukraine, Grazia's GeorgiaAspinall reports on the women giving birth amid the carnage

couldn’t be any more devastating, the Russian Air Force bombed a maternity and children’s hospital in Mariupol.

Mariana Vishegirskaya, 19, a beauty blogger who documented her pregnancy on Instagram, was also photographed fleeing the scene on foot, covered in blood , in stark contrast to the beautiful images on her timeline. Nataliia Proshchyn, 37, an orthodontist living with her husband in Kyiv, was one of them. The day the war began, she sent her 12-year-old son to stay with family friends in Croatia, as she had a Caesarean scheduled at a hospital in the city the following afternoon. But at 6.30am the next morning she was woken by the sound of combat. The Ukrainian army’s air defence had shot down a Russian rocket right outside her window. She knew she had to deliver her baby as soon as possible.

When Nataliia’s baby girl was born, she was handed to her husband who was waiting outside the room with bags packed ready to escape at any moment. Doctors worked to stop the heavy bleeding resulting from Nataliia’s surgery and, once she was stitched up, she was told she had four hours to recover and ‘get ready to run’ in case of further alarms. ‘In the end, I was able to stay at the hospital for three days because there was a curfew,’ she remembers.
