Reazjhana Williams, from Denver, had planned for a natural birth when she arrived at the hospital, but things quickly took a turn.
When doctors couldn’t detect the baby’s heartbeat, things escalated quickly.
Before Reazjhana could fully process what was happening, her daughter was born— but to her shock, the baby had something on her face when she arrived.
Delivered via C-section
Most new mothers have the opportunity to bond with their babies right after birth, often by holding them on their chest. Reazjhana was not among them. After her daughter was delivered via C-section, Reazjhana was forced to hand her baby over to a plastic surgeon.
But let’s start from the beginning.
In early June of 2021, Reazjhana Williams arrived at a Denver hospital, excited to give birth to her long-awaited daughter. She’s still trying to process everything that happened, but she remembers that the doctors couldn’t find the baby’s heartbeat, which led them to prepare for an emergency C-section.
