In addition to them, another pregnant woman and a 16-year-old girl are hospitalized - both in fair condition.
The hospital said that there was a clear trend of a decrease in the age of patients in Corona, and an increase in the condition of patients is difficult at these ages.
One of the hospitalized women, a young woman in the 34th week of her pregnancy, became infected in Corona and was hospitalized in a very serious condition, Department of Infection A, in Hillel Yaffe.
In view of the deterioration in her condition and the risk to the fetus, the doctors decided to give the woman an emergency caesarean section.
The operation was successful and the baby was hospitalized in infancy in good condition.
As mentioned, another mother who was admitted to the emergency room for women and midwives in the hospital in the 37th week of her pregnancy is hospitalized in the same ward, suffering from breathing difficulties.
The woman was diagnosed with corona and it was decided to give the girl a caesarean section.
The condition of the baby she gave birth to is well defined and she is hospitalized in infancy.
The third woman, who is in advanced pregnancy, is hospitalized in a stable and moderate condition.
"It should be noted that a midwife who was in a critical condition was only recently released, after intensive resuscitation and treatment efforts," Hillel Yaffe said.
"Fortunately, after the dedicated care she received, her maternity condition improved and she was released to her home."
The hospital also noted that the hospitalized mothers join more than 70 patients in the three wards of Corona patients, 44 of whom are in critical condition and three in critical condition.
"We are witnessing an increase in the wave of serious illness among younger ages than in the past," said the director of the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center, Dr. Miki Dodkevitz.
Luckily for us, he has stabilized and today his condition is defined as mild.
We are also seeing a worrying trend among pregnant women, including those hospitalized at this stage.
This disease is deceptive.
It can cause deterioration in an instant, despite the best professional care.
I call on people to continue to get vaccinated and especially to continue to maintain the procedures and rules of social distance. "
