About MeTaken during the national lockdowns for the Coronovirus pandemic 2020-2022 in Aberdeen.

The donor, Fiona Johnson, explains the photographs: "Prior to this, my husband Ian was only at the 12 week scan and then restrictions came in and he didnt get to any scans.

I laboured at home with no pain relief for as long as possible in fear that when we arrived to hospital he would be turned away as partners were only allowed in during established labour and not early stages.

So here is me not long after arriving at hospital and then dad holding baby for first time the following day when he was allowed in to hospital for his limited two hour visit per day!"
