But we know we’re the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birthing experience as peaceful as ours was.
“Since Covid-19, many more newborn lives are at risk because of a greater lack of access to water, soap, vaccines and medicines that prevent diseases. As parents to a newborn, this breaks our hearts, as we empathise with struggling parents now more than ever. As Unicef goodwill ambassadors, we know Unicef is there, on the ground, doing whatever it takes to make sure every expecting mother has access to a trained health worker and access to quality health care.
The proud parents said that in “celebration of the heart we know our daughter already has” they have set up a donation page to celebrate the tot's arrival. “By supporting Unicef, you are supporting a safe start to life and reimagining a healthier world for every child,” they concluded.YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE:
