GINECOLOGIA E OBSTETR\u00cdCIA<\/a> Luke's Hospital, que ela descreveu como uma \"m\u00e1quina bem oleada\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"Senti-me muito apoiada durante a minha maternidade\", diz Sarah. \"N\u00e3o tive de me preocupar com nada e n\u00e3o senti qualquer press\u00e3o para fazer algo que n\u00e3o quisesse.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No entanto, a hist\u00f3ria do nascimento de Sarah n\u00e3o foi isenta de desafios. Minutos depois de ter dado \u00e0 luz Prince, de 2,5 kg, Sarah foi diagnosticada com COVID-19, o que lhe colocou um novo conjunto de obst\u00e1culos que lhe dificultaram a sa\u00edda do hospital com o seu filho rec\u00e9m-nascido. \"Fiquei incr\u00e9dula. Tinha-me testado frequentemente e n\u00e3o estava a sentir quaisquer sintomas. O teste positivo \u00e0 COVID-19 nunca fez parte do meu plano de parto, nem do de ningu\u00e9m.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apesar das circunst\u00e2ncias, Sarah apreciou o tempo que passou com o marido e o filho. \"Foi muito bom ter tempo a s\u00f3s como uma nova fam\u00edlia. Sem a press\u00e3o de ter visitas, \u00e9ramos s\u00f3 n\u00f3s, e isso resultou\", diz Sarah, sorrindo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Est\u00e1 tamb\u00e9m grata pelos cuidados p\u00f3s-parto cont\u00ednuos que recebeu na maternidade. \"A equipa foi excelente e, mesmo com a COVID-19, continuei a receber os mesmos cuidados de alta qualidade que qualquer nova m\u00e3e receberia, incluindo ajuda na amamenta\u00e7\u00e3o e assist\u00eancia pedi\u00e1trica\", acrescenta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Passados alguns dias, a Sarah, o Lucas e o Prince tiveram alta do hospital e foram recebidos em casa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sarah descreveu a profunda experi\u00eancia de se tornar m\u00e3e e como isso abriu o seu cora\u00e7\u00e3o de uma forma que nunca pensou ser poss\u00edvel. As pessoas dizem sempre: \"N\u00e3o sabemos o que \u00e9 o amor at\u00e9 olharmos para o nosso filho pela primeira vez\" e \u00e9 verdade. N\u00e3o sabemos realmente o tamanho do nosso cora\u00e7\u00e3o at\u00e9 termos um filho\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Para Sarah, a maternidade significa \"atingir um novo n\u00edvel de amor e crescimento na sua vida\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\u00c9 uma das coisas mais desafiantes e gratificantes que j\u00e1 experimentei. E faz-me lembrar como sou forte\", diz ela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Este fim de semana, Sarah est\u00e1 ansiosa por celebrar o seu primeiro Dia da M\u00e3e, passando tempo com a sua bela fam\u00edlia na praia e desfrutando do bom tempo. O seu conselho para as novas m\u00e3es \u00e9 que confiem no seu corpo, no seu eu interior e na sua equipa de cuidados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
