.
Around one in five women who are admitted to hospital with the virus need to be delivered prematurely to help them recover and one in five of their babies need care in the neonatal unit. Tanviha, who works in anaesthesiology and research in Manchester, spent two months in hospital with Covid-19 following an emergency birth, said she caught Covid-19 during her second pregnancy in February.Tanvinha’s parents were told to prepare for the worst when she admitted to hospital ‘I was rushed into hospital and went straight into intensive care where my condition deteriorated and my son was delivered by emergency C-section.
‘The first time I saw my son he was two months old. It’s the scariest experience of mine and my family’s life but I’m just grateful that me and my son are alive. ‘I don’t know what the future holds for me and my baby; I’m still suffering with symptoms now along with the anxiety of not knowing how or when I’ll recover.‘I would urge pregnant women to get vaccinated because I don’t want anyone to experience what I went through.’
