I thought being pregnant during the COVID-19 pandemic was already hard enough because of all the uncertainties surrounding Coronavirus and pregnant women & newborn babies, not to mention the fact that I, together with my family, was locked up in our house since March. But giving birth during the Coronavirus pandemic was even harder.

Under normal circumstances, hiring a professional photographer to do your maternity photos is a great idea. But since we’ve been limited as to what we can and cannot do, not to mention all the stay at home orders in place because of the coronavirus, doing DIY maternity photoshoot is most likely your only option to document this special time of your life.

Yes, you read that right! My husband doesn’t give me gifts on special occasions and I am FINALLY okay with that. Back when he was still my boyfriend, because we were thousands of miles apart (he was in the United States and I was in the Philippines), he would make an extra effort to send me romantic gifts or do romantic gestures on special occasions. But all of those stopped shortly after I migrated to the United States.
