A team of doctors at Dubai's Latifa Hospital have succeeded in saving the life of a woman after she developed pregnancy-related complications.

Sheryl Vilamor was rushed in for an emergency C-section after she was diagnosed with placental abruption in February.

She was then moved to the Intensive Care Unit.

In a video posted on the Dubai Health Authority's official Twitter handle, we see a tearful Sheryl reunite with her baby after two months.

"I would like to thank all the doctors and nurses for helping me," she said.
