Due to the corona measures, Linde Merckpoel could only see her parents, who live in France, twice during her pregnancy. Even now that they have come to Belgium and been in quarantine, they will not see each other.
That is not nice, Merckpoel indicated on the one-program Today. ‘But it has to.’
“I really had a meeting with my love to check the rules,” she says. ‘It’s heartbreaking. My parent live in France, but are now in Belgium. They’ve been in quarantine for a week, just to see us. I had to call them this morning to say we can’t see each other again this week. They saw me twice during my pregnancy. And the next time will be when I have my baby. Hopefully. ‘
She was previously in an interview with The standard very open about her pregnancy. ‘The baby is planned and of course Jef and I long for that child, but at the moment the feeling prevails that I have to give a lot. “You get a lot in return,” everyone assures, but I can’t imagine anything about that yet. It sounds bad, but I have really been mourning what I might have to give up. I mainly feel like a carrier, actually. A receptacle. When I look in the mirror, I don’t recognize myself. ‘
