During a Special Time by Dr. Miriam Sivkin

Special Delivery During a Special Time is a compelling exploration of pregnancy, childbirth, and early motherhood during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through thirty-six intimate, narrative-driven stories, the book documents how women navigated fear, isolation, disrupted medical care, and emotional uncertainty while bringing new life into the world. These accounts reflect a wide range of experiences—from hospital restrictions and virtual prenatal care to altered birth plans and limited family support—revealing how deeply the pandemic reshaped one of life’s most profound moments.

Grounded in real voices and lived realities, the book goes beyond statistics and headlines to illuminate the human impact of a global health crisis on expectant mothers and families. Each story captures not only the challenges faced, but also the resilience, adaptability, and quiet strength that emerged in response. Together, these narratives form a historical and emotional record of motherhood under extraordinary circumstances, offering insight, validation, and connection for readers. Special Delivery During a Special Time stands as both a testament to women’s endurance and a meaningful reflection on how crisis can redefine care, community, and hope.
