A comatose woman gave birth to a 1.718-kg boy in the affiliated hospital of Guangxi Medical University last Wednesday.

Tang Yulu, 29, suffers from cardiovascular disease and fell into a coma on April 26 when she was just two months pregnant.

In July doctors suggested terminating because the fetus' existence would jeopardize Tang's recovery. While Tang's family were discussing an abortion at her bedside, she shed tears.

Tang's parents and husband then decided to keep the baby.

With the care of her family, Tang gave birth to the boy via C-section. Although underweight, the boy is in a stable condition in an incubator.
