Derek Bailey Shepherd



Bailey Grey Shepherd is the son of Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd.

Birth
Meredith went into labor in the middle of a superstorm. The labor was going smoothly until the OB determined that Bailey was face presentation. He was then born via emergency c-section in the dark during the storm. In the operating room, the doctors had to hold flashlights so that the Connie, the OB, could see to deliver him. After he was born, his breathing was shallow and his sats were low, so he was taken to the NICU to be monitored and receive oxygen.

Notes and Trivia

 * Bailey was named after Miranda Bailey, his parents' colleague who saved Meredith after she delivered him. After Bailey was born, Shane noticed that Meredith had suffered from a massive hemorrhage coming from her spleen because of her previous fall down the stairs. Miranda Bailey performed a splenectomy to stop the hemorrhage and Meredith pulled through.
