A woman who gave birth while seriously ill with Covid-19 has finally returned home to live with her son – seven months later. Hajrah Aslam, from Peterborough, was 35 weeks pregnant in January when she caught coronavirus. After giving birth to her first child, Huzayfah, her oxygen levels fell dangerously low and she was put in an induced coma for six weeks. Later, she needed 11 weeks of rehabilitation therapy, building her strength and working on being able to walk and climb stairs again. “All I could see was my baby boy’s face. I kept on saying his name, even when I was in excruciating pain, I kept on going and going,” says the 28-year-old.
