Woman dies from COVID-19 weeks after giving birth to 3rd daughter - WMUR Manchester

“She loved me for me,” Nicolas Shaw said of his wife, Leslie, to KCAL/KCBS.

Leslie Shaw was admitted into a California hospital last month after doctors discovered she had tested positive for COVID-19.

Courtney Martin, the director of Maternity Services at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital, said doctors have seen a rise in mortality related to COVID-positive pregnancies.

Leslie never got to meet her youngest daughter, who was delivered while she was in a medically-induced coma, but Nicolas Shaw said he was going to do what he could to make sure all three girls grow up knowing their mom.
