A mother who fell into a coma during her near-fatal C-section has woken up five months later and met her baby son for the first time.
Nur Fadilla underwent the operation in the city of Kota Call Girls Bharu, north-west Malaysia, last November after doctors had tried to induce labour three times.
During the procedure, the 28-year-old parent experienced a complication which stopped her heart.

Doctors were able to deliver the baby boy and save Fadilla's life, but she slipped into a coma.
Her cousin Nur Hasirah said: 'Her heart started beating again when the baby was born, but due to the lack of oxygen in her brain, she fell into a coma.
She added that Fadilla was 'conscious and stable' before she was taken to the delivery room.
