A young mother urges pregnant women to receive the Covid-19 vaccine after she refused and became seriously ill.

Annie Muir, 23, was just under 30 weeks pregnant when she was admitted to hospital on September 18 – nine days after she was found to have the virus.

After being hospitalized, she received continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy as she struggled to breathe.

Fearing for the health and safety of her unborn son, doctors made the decision to deliver him in an emergency caesarean section, Yorkshire Live reports.

Jalil weighed just 3 pounds at birth, and was immediately taken to the neonatal unit at the Royal Bradford Hospital where staff spent six weeks caring for him.

Aniri, who is also a mother to her 21-month-old daughter Khameh, said: “My lungs were full of covid virus and they were not inflating properly and the baby was putting extra pressure on my lungs, so they told me the safest things for my baby are delivered as soon as possible.

“When they told me it was going to have to be delivered early, I was completely blown away.

“My daughter was perfect when she was born and it felt like everything was normal and normal. I felt awful.

“After Jalil’s birth, he was taken to another location to get tested for Covid. Fortunately, it was negative but I was still unable to get him pregnant.

“I was only able to see pictures of him and it was nine days before I could hold him and cuddle him.”

Aneri admits she was shocked at how quickly she contracted the virus and now regrets not receiving the Covid hit when she was shown.

She added, “I’m not against vaccination but I was reluctant to take a knockout because I was pregnant and was nervous about the effect it would have on the baby. The vaccine seemed so new and played in my mind whether or not it would be safe.”

“My husband took his punches when presented to them, and we were both very careful during the pandemic and we were barely venturing outside, so I was shocked when I had Covid and shocked at how sick I was.

“My symptoms were mild at first, but after a few days it got worse and worse. It was the 9th day, I called 111 for advice and because of my breathing difficulties they sent an ambulance.

“If I could go back in time, I would say yes to the vaccine. I’ll get it now as fast as I can.”

Both mother and baby are now doing well and we have been able to go home but before leaving the hospital Anniree has a plea to all expectant mothers.

She said, “Now I would say to anyone who is pregnant and who is nervous about the tingling, speak to a health professional, speak to your midwife and get her advice as she will be able to reassure you.

“But please get vaccinated because I don’t wish anyone what I’ve been through.

“I was very lucky. My baby was 33 weeks old and he survived and is now healthy. He gained weight. But you can catch COVID-19 when your baby is much younger and then may not live. The risk is just not worth it. or not worth it.

“We originally chose a different name for our baby but changed it to Jahleel, which is Jamaican and means ‘God’s gift to me,’ which is exactly what it is. I know I’ve been very lucky and I’m really grateful.”

Consultant neonatologist Sam O’Day, who led the team that provided care for Jahelil in the neonatal unit, said: “In Bradford, Covid is harming children’s health because pregnant women in Bradford have not taken the coronavirus vaccine in sufficient numbers.

“While some informed women received the vaccine, many were put off by inaccurate information from social media.

Unfortunately, Bradford has seen more than its fair share of women needing intensive care for a disease that can be prevented or reduced by simple injections.

“When a pregnant woman is severely ill, her babies often have to be delivered early, which increases the risks and disruption of baby care at a time when women are receiving extensive treatment that is already painful enough.

“I urge women who are pregnant, or considering pregnancy, to get the COVID vaccine as soon as possible.”
