AUSTIN, Texas — Imagine not being able to hold your own baby after giving birth because you have COVID-19. That nightmare became a reality for one Austin mother last month.
According to Ascension Seton Medical Center, Brenda went to the ER because her coronavirus symptoms were worsening.
She was admitted to the hospital at 35 weeks pregnant and underwent a C-section before being placed on a ventilator for 24 days in the ICU.
