I thought the same thing until I read the article. They must have had to remove the baby’s head because it says the body was removed by c-section and the head vaginally.
It’s a terrible story regardless if it was an internal decapitation, but the additional info..nuh-uh. I would have been fine not knowing that. It’s too horrifying.

Oh, is that the mom at r4? It’s sad enough but to include a picture of her happy and smiling before the tragedy is a gut punch. I know one woman who had a stillbirth. The baby died at full term just days before she was supposed to deliver. She’s always going to carry that around with her. But add something additionally traumatic and that’s just unbearable.

FYI C-sections don't always happen because of a narrow birth canal, sometimes they happen because there's a need to get the baby out as soon as physically possible. If the baby's heart rate begins to drop for whatever reason, it's time to grab the scalpel and go!
As happened in this case, a C-section was done, for all the good it did. It sounds like the highest level of incompetence, done in the ER rather than L&D, so I wonder if an inexperienced intern was there making a hash of things because there wasn't an obstetrician available.

Because Occam’s Razor tells us that the staff panicked due to the horror of the situation and lied to cover their asses and hopefully avoid a lawsuit; because paternalism hasn’t been considered a kindly course of action in healthcare for 40+ years.
Luckily, it seems one of them had a conscience and let the parents know. It may have been a complete accident. Unfortunately they will never know, and never even got to hold their deceased child, however mutilated. That’s bad practise.

R55, they may not have needed to see the baby without its head, that’s traumatic. But they showed them the baby with its head sitting on top of its body, wrapped up. They deceived them and then tried to cover it up by suggesting rushing the baby to cremation without an autopsy or telling them that it had been decapitated. They didn’t even know that for 4 days. They had to have been suspicious when they weren’t even allowed to hold the baby, but they were also probably in shock and the mom could have been half out of it from anesthesia. Women whose babies die during childbirth or have a stillbirth can see and hold their babies. It’s common.
Obviously things went so wrong that the father had to be rushed out and the mother was almost definitely unconscious under general anesthesia instead of just having local anesthesia like you could in a planned c-section and they usually won’t let anyone else in during an unplanned c-section when they would during a planned one. Gotta get the dad or whoever is with the mom in a gown and covered and during an emergency they don’t have the time for that. Sometimes it happens, but rarely.
So dad was out of the room, mom was unconscious, they tried to make it look like the baby was still intact and tried to hide the fact that it’s head was removed (and that was not an accident. The head didn’t pop off. They removed it because the baby was stuck.)
They deceived them the entire way through and I couldn’t tell or I missed in the story if they were even told them why or how the baby died. I don’t know if they told them there were complications as you are aware and unfortunately the baby didn’t survive, or if they actually told them from the start that the baby died because of internal decapitation. I actually doubt they did because they went to the effort of trying to disguise the decapitation in the first place and tried to cover it up. Which is so, so dumb because everyone in that hospital including risk management would know and either had to conspire to keep it a secret or disclose to the parents. Everyone in the room would know, the pathologists would know, anyone in the morgue would know, the hospital administration would know. It’s not like the team in the room could have snuck the baby out in a duffel bag and had it cremated without the whole hospital knowing. And knowing instantly.
So they waited four days before anyone even told them, and the entire hospital, everyone who knew, conspired not to tell them and tried to cover it up. The baby’s death was an accident and a tragedy and it’s not the first time an accident has ever happened, but on top of the accident was a conspiracy (and I don’t use that term lightly-they conspired to keep it from the parents) and the conspiracy was not an accident. That’s a crime.
Patients and families get lied to a lot to cover up minor and recoverable mistakes (“there was some major bleeding during your surgery so you had to be given blood and the doctors were able to stop the bleeding” instead of “the surgeon accidentally caused the bleeding but fortunately was able to repair it and thank god he didn’t kill you!” or to spare the families feelings (elderly patient who was already dying “I’m so sorry for your loss but it was very peaceful and she wasn’t in any pain. I can assure you” when she was gasping for breath and in distress but had a do not resuscitate request). In those cases the team didn’t make a mistake or make a mistake they couldn’t handle, but they lied to comfort someone. In this case they made a fatal mistake AND lied. Big difference.

R70 agreed. Was just scrolling down to question this. It's not easy to separate limbs or heads from bodies, even in infants. I also was thinking decapitation meant severing the spine internally from yanking it too rough. It actually occurs in up to 1.6% births. I'm pretty sure if that many babies are getting their heads ripped from their bodies, it would be better known.

R87, essentially yes. And out of horror and morbid curiosity, I looked to see how many cases of decapitations head happened and while I could only find a few case studies and it seems to be extremely rare, every one involved the shoulder being stuck behind the public bone (what the nurse in the video explained is shoulder dystocia) and everyone involved vacuum extraction. So it is in fact possible to pull a babies head of and that is frankly horrifying. I didn’t look for internal decapitations and I would have assumed that’s more common but nothing came up in the search and I didn’t even see the Brazilian case a poster above mentioned (which just means it wasn’t showing up in google searching for “baby decapitation” because the search returns are just all about the current story). And weirdly internal decapitation didn’t even come up in google scholar (and before anyone says it, yes I use pubmed, but google scholar has links to white papers and sometimes a link to a copy of an article behind a paywall that someone posted online somewhere else so it’s a great way to find things that get left out of a pubmed search or you don’t have access to or even maybe is an old photo copy that predates the internet).
