C-Section Birth Story of Ezra, Stillborn at 33 Weeks | Rest In Peace, Sweet Baby Boy

Mom Angelica, a NICU nurse based in Idaho, USA, tells of how she and her husband Nick expecting her 2nd baby Ezra. Her pregnancy was going fine till around 33 weeks, when she noticed that he wasn't moving around as much during a work break. She went home, worried and tried to calm her fears, but got even more worried when she couldn't find his heartbeat using her own stethoscope. She and her husband wen to the hospital (during the COVID pandemic), and were told that there was no heartbeat.

Angelica delivered her son Ezra in June 2020 via C-section. Despite all the restrictions due to the pandemic, their parents and some family were able to meet Ezra after he was born. At the time of the recording, the cause of Ezra's death was unknown.
