Giving birth is never an easy experience. At a time of COVID-19, the experience can be even more fraught. Iran's midwives are helping pregnant women, new mothers and their babies - reassuring women, handling difficult deliveries and saving lives. Let's celebrate them and all midwives in this, the Year of the Nurse and the Midwife. Watch and share this very special video!
