It is safe to say that nearly every single person on the planet has been affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
In an attempt to "flatten the curve", many of us have been ordered to stay at home in an effort to protect ourselves and others from the novel coronavirus, as well as to help relieve the pressure on medical services.
But what about those currently being born into a world so different from the one that existed just a few months ago?
We may be able to press pause on our jobs and relationships, but you can't stop nature - and many moms and dads are now having to adjust to the usual pressures of parenthood with the added threat of the global pandemic.

Per the Huffington Post, some hospitals in the nation have been supplying newborn babies with tiny face shields in an attempt to protect them from COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
The images were captured by photographer Lillian Suwanrumpha and shared via Getty. Suwanrumpha captured the adorable shots at the Praram 9 Hospital in Bangkok on Thursday.
In the pictures, taken on the maternity ward, nurses in surgical masks can be seen cradling newborns wrapped in blankets and sporting teeny-tiny plastic visors - a bizarre sight because it is hard to deny that something so cute has come out of something so tragic.
In a statement posted to the official Praram 9 Hospital Facebook page (and translated by Buzzfeed News) officials said the shields were being used "because safety is what we care about the most", and that the shields help block sneeze and cough droplets from reaching the infants' faces.
In another translated report by BBC Thailand, the miniature visors are also helping provide new parents with "peace of mind" during this challenging time.
