A woman in her 30s, at 29 weeks of pregnancy, died along with her unborn child last weekend at Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan. Magen David Adom paramedics were called to her home and found her in critical condition, rushing her to the hospital. Upon arrival, she was taken to surgery, but despite the medical team's efforts, both she and the fetus were pronounced dead.

This incident follows two similar tragedies in recent months. Three months ago, a pregnant woman in her 40s died after being taken to a medical center with abdominal pain. Her condition deteriorated due to a rare complication, leading to an emergency surgery where the fetus was delivered stillborn. The mother was transferred to intensive care in serious condition, where she later died.

In April, Reut Cohen, 35, from Ra'anana, died at 28 weeks pregnant with twins. She had been hospitalized twice in the week prior to her death but was released. A day after her second hospitalization, she collapsed at home and died.
