A mother has overcome COVID-19 after contracting the virus at 28 weeks pregnant. Not only did she beat the odds to survive, but doctors delivered her premature baby girl by C-section while the new mom was in a coma.

Separated by an incubator and her face mask, the 32-year-old mom Blanca Rodriguez met her baby for the first time in the NICU at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital.
