A mum who caught coronavirus whilst pregnant didn't know she had delivered her baby boy - as she lay fighting for her life in a coma.
Sophie Byrne was unconscious when she gave birth to son Joseph 11 weeks early via caesarean section.The 28-year-old was spent nine weeks in hospital after testing positive for Covid-19, during which time she was placed on a ventilator as her condition worsened.
A team had to then be brought in from Liverpool Women's Hospital to deliver baby Joseph at the Royal Liverpool Hospital, according to the Liverpool ECHO.
Sophie, who also has son William, eight, and five-year-old daughter Amelia, wasn't even aware she had given birth due to the severity of her illness.
