Pregnancy is a beautiful time for many mothers-to-be, but one woman missed the birth of her child entirely as she was in a coma when she went into labour. Laura Ward was in a coma for seven weeks after she had become unwell while pregnant with her daughter.
The 33-year-old was still unconscious in the medically induced coma when it came time for her baby to be delivered. Her partner John, 37, refused to name the baby until Laura woke and she was permitted to come home. Laura was discharged days before Christmas 2021, returning to her family with her new daughter.
