Georgia was dancing whilst being visibly pregnant. By the end of the episode she had called Max saying there was something wrong with the baby as she was bleeding. The doctors initially struggled to find Luna's heartbeat, causing distress to her parents. Georgia was later diagnosed with Placenta Previa and was placed on bed rest.[1]
Birth[]
Luna with her father
While Max was recuperating following his cancer treatment Georgia‘s placenta abruptly ruptured. Max was covered in blood as Lauren (Doctor Lauren Bloom) arrived at the door. Lauren was tasked with the decision to either save Georgia's life, or deliver the baby and save her life. Max was unable to make the decision and Lauren took the decision to deliver the baby despite the lack of equipment and the likelihood that Georgia could bleed to death.
