Jane Williams

Jane Williams is a pregnant woman who had a stroke.

History
When Jane was 33 weeks pregnant, she had a stroke. Archer evaluated her and said that if he could stop the stroke within three hours of it starting, she had a good chance of not having any neurological deficits. Her ex-husband asked about the baby. Archer and Addison disagreed about treatment options. Archer did an endovascular clot evacuation. During the procedure, Jane started having contractions, which Addison was able to stop. After the procedure, Jane was stable, though still paralyzed on one side.

Jane went into labor while in recovery. Addison took her up for a c-section. Because stopping the blood thinners would put her at risk for another stroke, Addison decided to do the c-section with a spinal block while Archer monitored her neuro function.

After the baby was delivered, he didn't breathe right away. He had aspirated meconium, but once Addison suctioned it out of his airway, he started breathing.

After the surgery, Addison brought the baby to see Jane. Tim came in with them. She said she was glad that he was there. Tim handed Jane the baby and they sat together in her bed with their son.

Romantic
She was married to Tim Williams. They had a long, painful divorce. Their divorce was complicated by the fact that Jane was pregnant. Jane even wished during a fight that she wasn't pregnant, because she resented that it kept Tim in her life.

Familial
Her son was born via emergency c-section after she had a stroke.
