A Perth mother who delivered her baby while comatose — and endured an agonising few days before they could meet — says it was “overwhelming” to finally hold her little girl. Kiri Sheehan was 30 weeks pregnant with Luna, her fifth child, when her family was hit hard by the flu and she fell critically ill. Sheehan, 28, had pushed through an ongoing cough, severe chest pain and breathing difficulties before deciding to go to the emergency department for the safety of her unborn baby.
“It was quite full-on but they told me Luna is OK, that she was safe,” she said. She was able to see her girl through video calls organised by the hospitals, reassuring her that Luna was going well. It was three days before Sheehan was well enough to be escorted to Subiaco to meet her little girl and spend their first hour bonding. “It was an instant connection. There was love, relief and it gave me more motivation to get out of hospital,” Sheehan said.
