Ellie Wright, 20, contracted coronavirus when she was 30 weeks pregnant.
It left her unable to move and she was rushed to Walsall Manor Hospital.
The 20-year-old had never been to hospital before and her mother Michelle Stankevitch said Ellie looked petrified as the ambulance took her away.

Baby Leo weighed just four pounds and four ounces when he was born - he was taken to the neonatal unit.
His mother Ellie was put into a coma for three weeks.
When Michelle was allowed to visit her daughter, she said she was covered in tubes but held her hand and told her she needed to survive for her newborn baby.
