A woman has given birth while in a coma after she suffered a catastrophic brain bleed while she was 32 weeks pregnant.

Caitlin Stubbs was rushed to Royal Brisbane Hospital on July 23 when she suffered the bleed as a result of an Arteriovenous Malformation in her brain, meaning her blood vessels had become tangled.

The 25-year-old fell into a coma, so a day later doctors had no option but to remove the baby via caesarean.

Ms Stubbs is yet to find out that she gave birth to a healthy baby girl, named Quinn, as she continues to fight for her life.

Quinn spent the first three weeks of her life in intensive care but Ms Stubbs' fiance, Jonathon Welsh is caring for the newborn while staying by his partner's side.

The young mother first suffered a smaller brain bleed in November with plans to undergo radiation treatment to help with her condition.

The radiation had to be put off as Ms Stubbs then realised that she had fallen pregnant.

But on July 23 the young mother began to feel unwell, vomiting and complaining of a neck ache.

When her condition worsened, Mr Welsh called an ambulance for his partner who fell into a coma before she even made it to the hospital.Mr Welsh had gotten down on one knee and proposed just weeks prior.

When Ms Stubbs got to the hospital, doctors made the decision to perform the emergency c-section as they held grave fears neither her or the baby would make it through the night.

Luckily, Quinn is now a healthy baby and her mother is also making slow progress.

'They said they didn't think she'd make it through the night, and everything was pretty negative but I knew she would make it,' Mr Welsh told Nine News.

She is slowly regaining consciousness, but doctors say she has a long road of recovery ahead of her.
