A mother who had beaten COVID-19 was finally allowed to hold her newborn baby for the first time after giving birth while she was in a coma.
According to the reports, 27-year-old Angela Primachenko tested positive for the novel coronavirus when she was in her 33rd week of pregnancy.
After the Vancouver, Washington, mum was put in an induced coma due to complications, she gave birth to a girl named Ava without even knowing about it or being able to hold her baby.
As the mother woke up on April 6 and found out she had given birth while in a coma, she was allegedly told by the doctors she wasn’t allowed to hold her baby because she was still carrying the virus.
After testing negative for COVID-19 two times, on April 15, Primachenko was finally able to wrap her arms around her baby girl and give her a tight hug.
Reunited with her baby, the mother has shared several heartwarming and inspirational photos of the pair on social media.
“Crying right now!!! IM COVA FREE!!! And holding my baby girl in my hands!” she first wrote after receiving the good news.
In other photos she shared, the mum was seen cradling her baby and holding her against her chest.
As the Washington-based mum revealed, her “little sunshine is doing amazing” and will be able to go home with her in a “week or so.”
In another post, Primachenko, who works as a respiratory therapist, thanked hardworking healthcare workers and staff who took care of her and little Ava.
“So thankful to God and all the amazing staff who made this day possible! But do your co-workers help save your life?!” she wrote.
