Halfway into my training to become an intensive care unit physician, I gave birth to my son, Finnegan. My medical training also coincided with the Covid-19 pandemic. I was in the third and final year of my internal medicine residency at Bellevue Hospital in New York when the initial Covid surge of spring 2020 overwhelmed the city and its hospitals.

Scientists may have discovered a new human species for a second time this week.
Anthropologists in France found a 45,000-year-old pelvic bone of an infant, which is neither a match to Neanderthals nor Homo sapiens.
The hip bone was found with the remains of 11 Neanderthals in the Grotte du Renne cave, later settled by anatomically modern humans (AMHs), suggesting the child coexisted with the now extinct species.
The artifact was compared against two Neanderthal and 32 modern baby bones,
An infant who was shot by her doctor mother in a ‘murder-suicide’ over the weekend was an only child, it has been revealed.

Archaeologists working in a cave in Italy have unearthed a highly decorated, 10,000-year-old burial of an infant girl — the oldest of its kind known from Europe.
The hunter–gatherer child, nicknamed ‘Neve’, was adorned with shell beads and an eagle-owl talon, reported the team led from the University of Colorado, Denver.
Neve was first discovered in the Arma Veirana cave in the Ligurian pre-Alps back in 2017, and then painstakingly excavated the following year.
Few burials are known from the
Had Alex Barr’s daughter Marnie been born a day earlier, she would — in all likelihood — still be alive.
Alex, 33, a nurse, was almost two weeks over her estimated due date when her husband Steve drove her to the maternity unit to be checked in April last year.
The pregnancy had already been an anxious one. Alex had the extreme morning sickness disorder hyperemesis gravidarum throughout, and then there were concerns that Marnie’s growth had slowed down in
