An Australian woman is in an induced coma unaware she has given birth after coming down with influenza A while pregnant.
Sarah Hawthorn, from Cobram in country Victoria, is fighting for her life in a Melbourne hospital after contracting the flu in the later stages of her pregnancy.
"As a result her gorgeous boy arrived earlier than planned and following his birth Sarah was, and remains, in a critical condition in an induced coma," her family said on a gofundme page.
By Wednesday morning, nearly $14,000 had been pledged.
Her family is trying to raise $20,000 for medical and travel expenses as the 33-year-old remains in a critical condition in the Alfred Hospital.
