'We're at that point where we just want his life to mean as much to as many people as possible.'
Just a few days after her due date, Bosworth's water broke late at night; she was sitting on the couch and heard what sounded like the snap of a rubber band before she felt anything. Bosworth hurried upstairs and remembers telling Kyle to fill the birthing tub in their bedroom. They lit candles and put on the playlist they’d made for the occasion, and Kyle dutifully applied counter-pressure to Bosworth’s back during contractions.
. The condition is rare, occurring in just .2 to 3% of pregnancies, the organization reported, and in most cases, babies survive.“Shoulder dystocia is the terrifying factor for an OB. They’re very traumatic for the mother, the baby, and the doctor,” said Dr. Jacques Moritz, a New York City OB-GYN and the medical director of Tia Women's Health, who has no connection to Bosworth’s case. “It is [one of the reasons] why you need a trained person to deliver a baby.
Michelle Palmer, a certified nurse-midwife in Hope, Rhode Island and the chair of ACNM's Home and Birth Center Committee, said that a woman interested in home birth discusses potential complications with her nurse-midwife from the start. She was not involved with Bosworth’s delivery.Inside her decision to deliver at homeThere is no evidence of an increased risk of contracting the virus in the delivery room, but as COVID-19 fears consumed the U.S., Bosworth says her anxiety took over.
Throughout her pregnancy, Bosworth said a team of obstetricians and midwives coordinated her care. At her 20-week scan, nothing seemed amiss, she said, so no follow-up ultrasound appointment was made, in keeping with guidelines put forth by ACOG. McCoy Casey Bosworth was suffered shoulder dystocia and a compressed umbilical cord when he was born April 6.
"We had a strong son and he fought every second of his life," said Kyle Bosworth . "Now we've got to figure out how to make his life meaningful." All she and Kyle can do at this point, they said, is celebrate their son’s brief life and honor his memory. After several days in the NICU, an MRI revealed that McCoy’s brain had been deprived of oxygen for too long; he had severe brain damage and was unlikely to ever gain consciousness. They removed life support on the sixth day and donated his organs. Bosworth also donated her breast milk.
Neighbors have been there for the Bosworths, too. In the days after McCoy's birth, they planted a garden and hung blue hearts in their windows to honor him.
