MARSHA'S STORY

Marsha Kinder Bautista (professor) with children Gabriela (age twelve years), Victor (age eighteen months), and husband Nicolás. Victor was born at twenty-eight weeks of gestation after Marsha had undergone bedrest throughout her pregnancy, which was complicated with uterine fibroids, vaginal bleeding, a weakened cervix (a cerclage was placed), and premature labor (she received medication).
