Mum wakes from coma to meet newborn after five months
A young mum who fell into a coma during her near-fatal C-section has finally woken up and met her baby son for the first time.
Nur Fadilla underwent a caesarean section in north-western Malaysian state of Kelantan on November 18 after doctors had tried to induce labour three times.
During the procedure, the 28-year-old woman reportedly experienced a complication which stopped her heart.
Doctors were able to deliver the baby boy and save Fadilla’s life, but she slipped into a coma.
“Her heart started beating again when the baby was born, but due to the lack of oxygen in her brain, she fell into a coma,” her cousin Nur Hasirah said.
She added that Fadilla was “conscious and stable” before she was taken to the delivery room.
According to reports, the mum has now woken up from her coma and she finally got to meet her baby son – now five-months-old.
According to Hasirah, the proud mum “cried her eyes out” when she got to cuddle her baby boy for the first time.
The cousin told the mum to be strong for her child.
