Giving birth during the pandemic was scary, says Hilaria Baldwin, but she also considers herself lucky because of her baby's due date.

The fitness and wellness expert had an uncomfortable COVID test while in labor and gave birth while wearing a mask. “You see all the funny memes that moms put out there about when people complain about wearing a mask to like the grocery store and I’m like, ‘I had to deliver a baby with a mask on,’” she says. “So, you can buy your Cheetos with a mask on—you’ll survive.”
