Mother dies after baby son delivered by Caesarean
A YOUNG mother has tragically and unexpectedly died after her baby son was delivered.
Ravina Bhagwan, 29, from Swansea, underwent a Caesarean section at Singleton Hospital on Thursday, August 15, but died just minutes later.
However, her newborn son, Samarth, was delivered safely and is now being looked after by Ravina’s husband, Sagar Bhagwan. She also leaves behind seven-year-old daughter Sanvi.
The family said an initial post-mortem examination, along with an independent panel inquiry, have yet to determine the cause of her death, leaving them in further distress.
Close family friend Ashish Channawar said in a statement: “Ravina’s husband and her mother were with her during the last minutes and are devastated due to her unexpected and untimely death.
“The family is yet to recover from this unexpected and heavy loss. Fate has been cruel to take away the mother of two young children at the very early age of just 29. Ravina was very social and welcoming in the community.”
Ravina was born in India and worked there as a primary school teacher after finishing her university degree in education.
After she married Sagar they moved to the UK and welcomed daughter Sanvi into the world in 2012.
More than 200 people attended Ravina’s funeral, which was held at Swansea Crematorium on Wednesday.
Ashish added: “Many people travelled all the way from Newcastle, Swindon, and London, which shows the strong ties of the family with the community. The hearts of every person at the cremation sank when Ravina’s mother and Sagar broke down while paying the final goodbye to her.”
