Kaylee Hall confirmed her third pregnancy through an at-home test, but because of a previous miscarriage, she wanted reassurance that everything was progressing normally. When she couldn’t get an appointment with her doctor immediately, she ended up at the Abundant Life Pregnancy Resource Center, what’s known as a “crisis pregnancy” facility. A nurse performed a sonogram and told her the pregnancy was viable. Hall was thrilled. But just days later, she was in the hospital for an emergency surgery. Not only was her pregnancy not viable, it was potentially life-threatening.
