A Minnesota mom died of the coronavirus without ever meeting her new daughter — after giving birth by emergency C-section while on a ventilator at the hospital, according to the family and a new report.
Aurora Chacon Esparza, 35, was seven months pregnant when she started showing COVID-19 symptoms and went to be tested — but the results came back negative, her husband Juan Duran wrote on a GoFundMe page.
She called her primary care doctor and was asked to stay home, as the tests are not always accurate.
But her symptoms only got worse, and she went to the hospital on June 14, where she was admitted immediately, according to Duran. By June 23, her oxygen plummeted to the point that a C-section was required to save both her life and that of the baby.
