Derek Bailey Shepherd

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

Meredith's Pregnancy
Meredith found out she was pregnant a few months after Mark died. At first, she was convinced that she would miscarry, but that fear ultimately lessened. Even through that, she believed something would be wrong with her child.

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. ("Perfect Storm") After he 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 preformed to stop the Hemorrhage and saved Meredith's life. This is how he got the name Bailey.
