Special Delivery: Baby ER
Battling Through
S1 E5:
Kristen is a first-time mom expecting triplets. Pre-term contractions have had her on bed rest for weeks, but tests reveal a condition that prompts an emergency c-section at 31 weeks. Delivery is a success, but immature lungs land babies Cole, Emily, and Gianna in the E.R.. Gianna -- the smallest of the three -- remains stable, while Cole and Emily struggle with breathing problems and jaundice. A month later, the triplets remain in the E.R., but every day brings them closer to home. Hayley is a second-time mom with a painful condition that has kept her on a powerful prescription narcotic, putting her unborn child at risk for withdrawal. Hayley is induced, but after eleven hours and little progress, the baby is delivered through c-section. As feared, little Baby Aiden has grown addicted to mom's pain medications and, as the days wear on, his withdrawal symptoms get worse.
