Diane Miller, 30, allegedly had a piece of concrete thrown at her during an unprovoked melee at Waterford Plaza Shopping Centre carpark in Karawara.
Miller, who is five months pregnant, was knocked unconscious and went into cardiac arrest.
Her family members are holding on to hope but preparing for the worst by saying their goodbyes, the saddest from her eight-month-old son.
“I took him in earlier,” Miller’s partner, Phillip Edmonds, told 9News on Thursday.
“It was happy. And then when we walked off he started crying.
“It hurt me more to walk off.”
Earlier on Thursday, the pregnant woman’s brother Malcolm Clifton talked lovingly about his sister, telling 6PR Mornings she acted like she was the oldest sibling, supported everyone and was “everyone’s rock … the most beautiful person anyone had met”.

Clifton said his sister was just getting her life on track.
“She just got a house, everything was working out of her and now everything is just gone,” he said.
A 17-year-old from Kensington has been charged with grievous bodily harm and breach of bail.
He was due to face Perth Children’s Court on Wednesday.
Police said others involved in the scuffle may be charged.
Detectives are calling for anyone who witnessed the incident, or has mobile phone or dashcam footage taken in the carpark between 7pm and 7.30pm to contact Crime Stoppers.
