Maharashtra: Covid claims mom’s life, but not her motherhood

Amid the daily rollcall of tragedies due to Covid, a particularly wrenching one came to fore on Thursday. A woman in her thirties, who was 32-weeks pregnant, died after fighting Covid-19 for three weeks. However, the doctors did not let her motherhood die. They performed a perimortem caesarean section and delivered a premature baby boy moments before she breathed her last.
