Jenny's third pregnancy was considered high risk after she had experienced 2 miscarriages. Thankfully, her pregnancy went smoothly and was free of complications.

Jenny started having contractions on a Thursday. On Saturday, after several days of prodromal labor, Jenny's contractions were consistently 5 minutes apart. They headed to the hospital only for her labor to completely stop once she was in triage.
They were sent home and strong contractions started again. Sunday morning, Jenny went back to the hospital and again, her contractions stopped. Jenny spent the day walking around the hospital and her contractions started again and she was finally brought to a labor and delivery room.

Jenny labored on a birth ball and in the tub and eventually requested an epidural. Soon after that, medical staff broke her water and she was dilated to 10 within an hour.


When she was ready to push, Jenny felt like she had developed a fever. Her concerns were brushed off and after about an hour of pushing she brought up her concerns again. They took her temperature, and Jenny did in fact have a fever. Her baby's heart rate was vary fast and they made the decision to move forward with a cesarean.

Listen in on Tuesday to hear the rest of Jenny's story.
