Tragic Loss: Pregnant Woman with Coronavirus Dies during C-section, Baby Stillborn
The coronavirus continues to dominate the world. Thousands of people have died, mainly the elderly. But young people are also succumbing to the virus. Especially people with a medical history.
A 37-year-old woman died in A Coruña, Spain, during her pregnancy. The baby was stillborn.
The woman began to feel unwell last Saturday. Sunday morning she went to the hospital with a fever. The woman was tested for coronavirus, which tested positive.
When she started having contractions, she was taken to an operating room and an emergency cesarean section was performed.
That was reported by the Spanish newspaper El Pais.
The Teresa Herrera hospital, where the pregnant woman was operated on, reported that the woman died. She was said to have had a medical history.
In Spain, over 7000 people have died from the Covid-19 virus. There are also tens of thousands of infected. Nearly 5000 of them are in intensive care, according to sources within the Ministry of Health. This was reported by El Pais.
This is a very tragic case, but we must always strive to prevent pregnant women from being affected. However, studies conducted on pregnant women in Chinese hospitals, including Wuhan where the virus originated, prove that women who contracted Covid-19 had healthy children.
Our thoughts are with this family and other affected individuals in the world. Their angels are in heaven.
