Six months along. And his heart wasn't beating. For months, the 30-year-old woman had waved off her swelling belly and ankles. Pregnancy seemed impossible because she had struggled to conceive in the past. Besides, she said, "you put all the bad thoughts on the back burner when you're high."

She calls it "the S," an illness she is still embarrassed to name. More and more babies in L.A.
