A South African mother, Christelle Berrington recently headed to Facebook's ImStaying to share a heartfelt post about the nurses who had helped her through a difficult birthing process after she tested positive with Covid-19 while 35 weeks pregnant.

"I’m staying because of the unsung song to our nursing staff. I tested positive for Covid at 35Weeks of pregnancy. Had pneumonia. My blood platelets dropped to 14 at their lowest. I had to isolate for 14 days in the hospital just to be able to monitor platelets & then maintain those platelets to be able to deliver. These nurses became my Birthing partners as hubby wasn’t allowed in the theatre.

"This young man is the reason I am staying. His name is Matimba Hlungwani, a male nurse at Milpark Hospital. My dad, who is 84 years old, was admitted for the past 3 weeks. Since you can't visit your loved ones during Level 3 to check on them you have to phone.
"This young man will make sure that I speak to my dad every single day. Today it was so emotional when he was discharged and saying to me this boy has a good heart and God will protect him. He said he was taking good care of me and so respectfully. These days we hear terrible stories about nurses especially elderly people who are helpless," she wrote gratefully.
