When my sister was six months pregnant, she went in for a routine exam. There her OB/Gyn told her that her blood pressure was extremely high and that she needed to go to the emergency room. While at the ER they gave her meds to bring down her BP, but it wasn't decreasing. The baby's heartbeat started weakening and the doctors were scared they were going to lose the baby and my sister. They ended up doing an emergency c-section (my sister remembers the doctors saying that they didn't need her consent to do it). She was exactly 6 months pregnant. Lungs are the last thing to develop, so my nephew's lungs were very underdeveloped. He was only 2 lbs 4 oz and spent some time in the hospital. His "natural" airway passage is very, very narrow so that's why he had to get the trach. He was basically suffocating without it. And because he has the trach, he can't make any sounds. Even if he's crying, you can't hear him. My sister literally has to watch him 24-7.
