A woman who has been in a coma
for three moths on Thursday gave birth to a healthy daughter, La
Gazzetta di Mantova newspaper reported Friday.
The birth took place at Mantua's Carlo Poma Hospital.
The newborn girl, who was born one month early, is said to be
doing well.
The birth was monitored and assisted by a 30-strong team
including doctors, nurses and technicians led by gynecologist
Giampaolo Grisolia.
The mother, a 33-year-old Mantuan, was hit by sudden heart
failure three months ago and then had a stroke that damaged her
brain.
Since then she has been in a light coma which prevents her
from speaking or realising what is happening around her.
At the end of May, as the time for the birth drew near, she
was moved to the Mantua hospital where she is now in the cardiac
intensive care ward.
