A year ago, they decided they wanted to have a baby, and they stopped using birth control. At first, they did not pay attention to the timing of their sexual activity in relation to Isabella’s menstrual cycle, but after six months passed without Isabella becoming pregnant, they decided to try to maximize their efforts.

They had also heard that for the average woman, ovulation occurs around day 14 of the menstrual cycle. To maximize their chances of conception, they tried to have sexual intercourse on day 14 of Isabella’s menstrual cycle each month.

Over the past three days Lauren has noticed a decrease in foetal movements, which has started to worry her. Lauren’s partner, Michael, suggested that she go to the hospital as the decrease in the baby’s movements could indicate a problem. At hospital, Lauren was examined by a doctor and found to have a slightly raised temperature of 37.4 °C.

Because the CTG was determined to be normal, Lauren was allowed to return home but was advised to call or return if she was concerned. Three days later Michael drove Lauren to the hospital.
