Bailey’s second pregnancy, which coincided with lockdown during the spring of 2020. Bailey was very sick during the pregnancy, and describes how her husband helped her with their older daughter while working from home. After she delivered her baby, she then had to return to her obstetrician’s office to have the placenta removed through a D & C.

On this episode of High Risk Birth Stories, Bailey shares her story of choosing to take fertility medication, struggling with bleeding due to issues with her cervix, and being induced at 39 weeks with her first baby.
