I feel for the mother here... What a horrific thing to happen to a new mother.

Original story is here.

The virus attacked the baby's major organs and killed her, an inquest at Lancaster heard.

The inquest found Jennifer had died from the virus, which her mum had probably caught during the late stages of her pregnancy.

How utterly nightmarish and shocking. That poor woman. That's never going to leave her, either. Considering kissing and breastfeeding likely transferred the virus, she probably blames herself. I hope not. How heartbreaking.

That's horrible o.o;

It makes me think though. I've gotten cold sores ever since I was a baby and nobody in my family gets them, so it wasn't through contact. Was I lucky to have lived? That's nerve racking.

That poor woman! I cant even imagine what she went through (and is still going through). The baby was healthy and then this? That is heart wrenching. I feel for her and the doctors should have told her the risks (however small they might have been) of coming into contact with the baby. Heinz sight is always 20-20.
