Objective: The aim of study is to contribute to the literature by evaluating the experiences and breastfeeding process of the pregnant woman who was diagnosed with the new corona virus disease (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 and had spontaneous vaginal delivery. Methods: The data were collected in the hospital between 17-18 December 2020, during the isolation period and afterwards by phone call. Case: The term pregnant, who was diagnosed with COVID-19 two days ago and was followed at home, was admitted to the Marmaris State Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Service with the start of her contractions. Spontaneous vaginal delivery occurred in about half an hour. 3300 gr., the general condition of the healthy, female newborn was good. In the first 15 minutes following the birth, the mother refused to breastfeed. Later, the mother decided to breastfeed with the support of the family and with the information and measures taken by the healthcare personnel. Postpartum treatment and care were provided under the control of the Gynecology and Obstetrics unit in the Pandemic service. The breastfeeding process was initiated by taking contact and droplet precautions for the newborn and ensuring that he stayed in the same room with the mother. Conclusion: An uncomplicated vaginal delivery was carried out in the process, which was carried out in accordance with the recommendations published by the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Health for pregnant women with COVID-19, and during the breastfeeding process, with the support of nurses and midwives, the rules of contact and droplet isolation were strictly followed. COVID-19 symptoms were not observed in the newborn, and the continuity of skin-to-skin contact and lactation contributed to the development of the newborn and the recovery of the mother. It is thought that our case will contribute to mothers diagnosed with COVID-19 and the literature in terms of delivery and breastfeeding process.
