Fearing a miscarriage, one Michigan woman spent the night in the emergency room alone, without her husband.
Another first-time mom was told to watch YouTube videos to prepare after her hospital’s birthing classes were canceled.
A third Michigan mother was back to work treating COVID-19 patients in a hospital emergency room just 10 weeks after giving birth.
