UPDATE: Mom Who Gave Birth in Coma While Fighting Coronavirus Holds Baby for the First Time

As previously reported, Primachenko was first diagnosed with COVID-19 in late March. At the time, she was 33-weeks pregnant with her second child.

The virus was so aggressive that the young mom from Vancouver, Washington was hooked up to a ventilator and placed in a medically induced coma. It was during that time when doctors decided to induce labor as a way to give both mom and baby a better chance at life.

Thankfully, it worked.

Primachenko, who called herself “a miracle walking,” survived the coronavirus and was released from the hospital after 17 days in the ICU—10 of which, she was intubated.
