âPregnant During a Pandemicâ sounds like a TV movie, but it was a real-life experience for Sarah Bullis, a first-time mom who faced the added anxiety of working in a hospitalâand potentially being exposed to COVID-19âwhile her baby developed.
Bullis and her husband, Justin, a professional firefighter, found out in February they were expecting. A month later, the pandemic had crisscrossed the globe, and the front-line workers had to consider the safety of their unborn child, as well as themselves, as they went about their daily duties.
