Corona-infected woman in a coma has twins
Small miracle in the Corona crisis: A British woman suffering from Covid-19 gave birth to twins during a four-week coma. When she regained consciousness 16 days after the caesarean section, doctors told her about the offspring. “I couldn’t believe it,” said the mother, Perpetual Uke, who works as a rheumatism expert in a Birmingham hospital.
She no longer saw her pregnancy belly and therefore initially believed that her children had died, reported the woman to the news channel Sky News. The children were born on April 10th in the 26th week of pregnancy, but the unusual case was only now known in Great Britain. The girl weighed only 770 grams at birth, the boy a little more at 850 grams. After 116 days, the twins were released from the hospital.
She is sorry that her youngest had such a difficult start in life, said the woman, who has two other children, the BBC. “But the important thing is that things turned out so well.” Her husband is also grateful that the “terrible” times are over: “Every single day I hoped that my wife would not be among the dead. We are a team. “(Dpa)
