At 31 weeks pregnant, Audrey Delp, a 32-year-old nurse at Jefferson Einstein Montgomery Hospital, woke up with the worst headache of her life. Tests ruled out preeclampsia, but Audrey trusted her instincts—and that decision may have saved two lives.

A rare brain bleed led to an emergency flight to Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience, where neurosurgeon Dr. Ritam Ghosh was preparing to perform a craniotomy. But just before the surgery, fetal monitoring revealed her baby was in distress.

In a remarkable moment of teamwork, maternal-fetal medicine specialist Dr. Whitney Bender and a team of other Jefferson clinicians performed an emergency C-section, right there in the neuroscience unit, delivering baby Ronin safely before Audrey underwent a 12-hour craniotomy to save Audrey.

Today, both Audrey and baby Ronin are home, healthy, and thriving.
