00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: Jennifer Bowlis is almost ready to bring her daughter Penny

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: home for the first time ever.

3
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 2: He's been here for one hundred and three days. She's

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,319
Speaker 2: doing really well. We're just learning how to eat by mouth.

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 2: Hopefully she'll be going home in the next few days.

6
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: Jennifer had severe pre eclampsia and Penny was delivered at

7
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: just twenty seven weeks thanks to an intentional on call

8
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: sea section, which keeps the baby in the amniotic sack

9
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: for protection.

10
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 2: These and call births do happen naturally, and they have

11
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: happened before, but this is the first time they.

12
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: Did it intentionally, first time intentionally in New England, as

13
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: the team at South Shore Hospital received training over in

14
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: Germany to learn how to pull it off. As Penny

15
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: prepares to head home, Jennifer hopes on call sea sections

16
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: will help protect more babies than their mothers in the future,

17
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: and I.

18
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: Hope that this can be the outcome moving forward. It's okay.

19
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: It's okay that birth doesn't always go the way you planned.

20
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: It's gonna be okay.
