The woman, Laura Ward, is a teaching assistant. As a result of her deteriorating condition, at 31 weeks of pregnancy, she was sedated and had an emergency caesarean section, more than two months ahead of her due date. Her daughter weighed only about 1.6 kilograms at birth, stayed in the neonatal unit for five weeks and is now healthy. Ward said the last thing she could remember was living in an isolation ward for COVID-19.
It is understood that Ward "coughed a little" after the end of this summer vacation, after which he tested positive for the new crown virus. After breathing became difficult, she was taken to the hospital, where after two weeks of hospitalization she was told the child might be born prematurely. Ward said she didn't remember what happened after that, and the next memory was sept. 30, seven weeks later, when she woke up and saw her newborn daughter.
Ward said he woke up unable to move any part of his body or speak, and all he could do was shake his head and nod. But now, she is able to walk and is about to be discharged home.

The woman used an ECMO device (artificial lung) during her coma and her "lungs are completely gone" and her family was told it was a "last resort". Currently, she is undergoing recovery treatment with the goal of being discharged from the hospital and returning home for Christmas.
"I'm getting stronger day by day, and the nurse says she's never seen anyone make so much progress in such a short period of time," she said. I think setting goals of going home for Christmas and coming home to see the kids has been very helpful to me and I miss them so much. She also said she did not get the COVID-19 vaccine early in pregnancy because doctors did not recommend pregnant women at first. But now she would advise pregnant women to get vaccinated, "I don't want what happened to me to happen to anyone, and it's better to be cautious now than to regret it later." (Editor: HHJ)
