A 25-year-old woman who was pregnant with triplets died after becoming ill with the A(H1N1) flu, according to Qingdao News.com.


She was hospitalized in the later stages of pregnancy. After slipping into a coma, she delivered triplets via cesarean section before her death.

National health experts emphasized that pregnant women are more likely to be affected by the virus, and some will die from complications related to this virus.

Experts said that the best defense is to keep one's hands clean and stay away from people who are ill. A woman in the final weeks of pregnancy should learn about breastfeeding and other ways to protect the baby from the H1N1 virus.
