Excitement has turned to worry at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, where one of two pregnant dolphins has apparently developed complications that may threaten her unborn calf.The dolphin, named Hailey, is a "first-time mother, and she seems to be having an uncomfortable pregnancy," says marine mammal curator Doug Messinger. "It's got us very worried."On the bright side, the aquarium's second pregnant dolphin, Shiloh, seems to be doing fine as her early March due date draws closer. That animal has had a calf before.
