STORY: We do not know much about early Christian Saint martyrs, but we have more information about St. Felicity. She is often mentioned along St. Perpetua because they were both imprisoned and persecuted for being Christian. St. Felicity was a slave, and when she was arrested, she was 7 months pregnant. She continued witnessing to her faith. She gave birth in jail and was killed a few days later; her daughter was adopted by Christians.
