For your question about a “septic pregnancy” I think you may be thinking of when there is a naturally occurring miscarriage but the body fails to expel the dead fetus. The essentially rotting fetus can easily cause bacteria to grow and then cause the mother to become septic. If you have a miscarriage you are monitored pretty closely until doctors are sure you have expelled the fetus and if you have not within so many days there is a procedure to remove it so that no sepsis occurs.
