(Peter Semansky/The Canadian Press)Jessica Bourke is 18 weeks pregnant and can't remember the last time she kissed her husband Ian. Costescu, who is also a practising obstetrician-gynecologist, said that within four hours last Friday he received two emails documenting major changes in practice because of COVID-19. "It is often safe to (send new moms home quickly) for a low-risk birth," Costescu said. And so we do want to be careful because we don't want babies having to come back through an emergency department for reassessment." So I'm basically by myself all the time ... it's going to be really hard."
