‘We had two babies during the pandemic’

Rachel Taylor and Scott Gretton’s lives look very different one year on from the first UK lockdown beginning.

On 7 March 2020 they were having a baby shower for their first child, they’ve since brought two boys into the world.

Oscar was born on 31 March 2020 and his brother Chester was conceived just six weeks later and born on 24 February 2021.

Rachel told 5 Live’s Naga Munchetty they wanted two children close together, but “didn’t expect to fall [pregnant again] as quick as we did”.

As if two births wasn’t enough, the pair also became engaged during the pandemic.

Scott took a ring and a babygrow which said ‘Mammy, will you marry my Daddy?’ To the hospital after the birth of their first son and got a yes off his now-fiancé.
