Childbirth In Coma

In late 2016, a 34-year-old policewoman in Argentina -- in a coma after a car accident -- gave birth. Four months later, Amelia Bannan has regained consciousness and has finally met her son.

In the predawn hours of one Saturday last September, Shelly Cawley's husband and their newborn daughter were being escorted through hallways of a North Carolina hospital. Cawley had slipped into a coma during childbirth just hours earlier and some thought it might be time for her family to say goodbye.
