Woman who survived Covid while pregnant urges soon-to-be mothers to get vaccinated.
When she became sick with Covid-19, Roque Díaz spent a few weeks at a local hospital before being transferred to the University of Maryland Medical Center. She was connected to an extracorporeal life support machine, known as ECMO, since her lungs could not provide enough oxygen to keep her and her unborn baby alive.
Dylan was delivered at 32 weeks by C-section while Roque Díaz was still unconscious. He weighed only 5 pounds.Roque Díaz was told that she bled more than usual during the delivery, partly because she was on blood thinners to prevent blood clots while connected to the ECMO machine. “When I first woke up, the first thing I saw was the big scar in my belly. Then I got scared because I realized I couldn’t speak because I was intubated. So, I just started to cry,” Roque Díaz said. “My heart started racing and I was sedated again.”
The majority of pregnant people remain unvaccinated. A lot of pregnant patients are nervous about taking medications, Lankford said, including getting well-known vaccines including for tetanus and diphtheria.
