A Denver family went into an emergency C-section and their baby got cut across her face. The Williams family was shocked when they saw the baby had an cut across her face.

“To have your granddaughter born to come out to see the plastic surgeon, to get 13 stitches, is devastating, it’s heartbreaking,” the baby’s grandfather, Walter Williams, told FOX 31.

“It’s upsetting, she’s not comfortable,” the baby’s father Damarqus Williams told the news station. Kyanni Williams was born at Denver Health. Her parents say the initially plan was to deliver naturally.

“They gave me a pill to speed up my labor and a few minutes after that I was being rushed into an emergency C-section,” the baby’s mother, Reazjhana Williams, said.

“They said our baby made a sudden movement they couldn’t hear her heartbeat or find it and they took her into an immediate C-section,” Damarqus said. The family says their daughter came out of the C-section with a massive cut on her face that required 13 stitches.

“They said her face was close to the placenta wall,” Damarqus said.

“I tried to be understanding about what happened, but on top of the fact her face got cut and a plastic surgeon had to come do it, there’s just a lot of things I’m not understanding with the C-section,” Reazjhana said. “I’ve never heard of anybody having to deal with their baby’s face looking like this after a C-section.”

FOX31 reached out to OB-GYN offices across the state to get some perspective on the incident.

“I’ve done over probably 2,500 deliveries and I assisted on C-sections, that’s the first time I’ve ever seen that,” Advance Practice Nurse Lisa Merck said after we sent her the photos. “That is kind of one of the things that can happen, but it is really, really rare.”

“I don’t think that’s right. They have to be held accountable for what they did,” grandmother Tashaira Williams said.

A GoFundMe for the Williams family has been created.
