	Anna Jackman, 37, of Wheatley Heights, gave birth to Nicholas in June 2020 when vaccines weren&rsquo;t available and tasks as simple as grocery shopping felt risky. As a first-time mom, she said, &quot;not having a village&quot; of support groups&nbsp;was very hard. When you think about having a baby, especially if it&rsquo;s your first, you imagine all of these different moments and experiences. &hellip; I feel like I was robbed of an experience.&rdquo;
