Giving birth should be an experience a mother will remember for ever – but not for Colvina Jolin.For having suffered a massive brain haemorrhage that sent her into a long coma,
the 28-year-old discovered she’d had a baby only when she came round weeks after the birth.
At one point during her three-month blackout, she had been given just a ten per cent chance of pulling through, while her premature baby, Maia, had to be resuscitated twice.
Last night Colvina told The Mail on Sunday: ‘It’s a miracle that we both survived.’
Recalling the moment she woke up in February to discover she had a tiny six-week-old daughter, she said: ‘When I came round, I instinctively knew that I had given birth and my baby was all right.’
She added: ‘Holding her for the first time was wonderful. To feel her close to me. I was overwhelmed.’
The first-time mother had been in perfect health until November last year when, 23-weeks pregnant, she felt an ‘intense headache’ while doing housework. She cried out to her husband Matt and then she passed out.
