Preterm laborPreterm premature rupture of membranes

A pregnant 16-year-old inmate at 31 weeks gestation has TRAP sequence, where an acardiac twin (a mass without a functional heart) receives blood supply from the healthy twin, straining the healthy baby's cardiovascular system. The team performs fetal ablation to sever the vascular connection, but the procedure triggers preterm labor, resulting in delivery of baby Ellie/Hannah.

Also known as: Early labor

Following the fetal ablation procedure, Kristen goes into preterm labor at 31 weeks. She delivers the baby while shackled in her prison cell, attended by Robbins, Bailey, and Wilson.
