A mother-of-three, 32, discovered she was pregnant with twins after waking up from an induced coma whilst battling COVID-19, The Daily Mail reported.

Danielle Martin from Belfast was unconscious for more than a week because of coronavirus. She became infected with the coronavirus when she was nine weeks pregnant.

Due to a decrease in the level of blood oxygen saturation, the patient was connected to an artificial lung ventilation apparatus.

According to her husband Bryan Green, “it is crazy how quick things can take a turn for the worse - one day Danielle was sending me photos telling me about the toast she is eating in hospital and then the next she is in ICU.”

The woman spent 10 days unconscious. As soon as she woke up, the paramedics informed her that she was expecting twins.

“It is a random way to find out you're expecting two babies but at least we will be able to remember something good about this horrible time,” she said.
