'Please get vaccinated.' Daughter's death after giving birth a cautionary tale, mom says
CNN
Marrisha Kindred Jenkins was 33 weeks pregnant when she started complaining of a persistent cough and vomiting last month.
Her mother, Helena Kindred, said she became concerned that Jenkins' symptoms sounded more severe than a common cold and advised her to skip a family member's birthday party on Sept. 4. Later that day, Jenkins went to a metro Atlanta hospital where doctors diagnosed her with Covid-19 and pneumonia.
Jenkins, who was unvaccinated, went into labor a few days later and delivered her baby boy Jaylen prematurely but couldn't hold him because she was still infected. The 27-year-old was discharged from the hospital before fully recovering, Kindred said. She was short of breath in the days to follow.
