Chelsea Lush was only 20 years old when she became pregnant with her first child. At the mid-pregnancy scan, then, Chelsea and her husband, Curtis, were excited to find out whether they would have a boy or a girl. The ultrasound, however, revealed something disturbing: their baby could shatter like glass. Indeed, doctors thought that the child would never survive the birth. So when Chelsea defied their instructions and went through with the pregnancy, the new arrival amazed everyone.

At 19 weeks pregnant, Chelsea Lush, a now full-time mom from Huntington Beach, California, and her husband, Curtis, went for her mid-pregnancy scan, and doctors told the expectant parents that they would be having a girl. However, there was also something else that the tests revealed.

Indeed, doctors could see from the scan that the baby’s arms and legs were underdeveloped, which they believed was due to achondroplasia – or dwarfism. On closer inspection, too, the doctors saw something far more concerning. In fact, it was so serious that they would subsequently recommend that Chelsea have an abortion.

Doctors could see that the baby’s arms, legs and ribs were broken and that her nasal passage had yet to develop. Even more distressing for Chelsea, however, was that when the nurse pressed gently against the baby’s skull she could see it deform in front of her very eyes.

“Mrs. Lush, there’s something very wrong with your child,” doctors told Chelsea. Specialists later diagnosed the child with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, or OI, a type of brittle-bone disease. The condition is caused by defective DNA and affects around one in 50,000 newborns in the U.S.

Having seen that the baby had multiple fractures in the womb, doctors didn’t believe that the pregnancy would last to full term. And even if it did, they thought it unlikely that the baby would make it through the birth. As a result, they recommended that Chelsea consider having an abortion.

“The specialist recommended or suggested that we could just terminate the pregnancy,” Chelsea explained to Barcroft TV in January 2017. “But it was more than that to us. It was our first child together.” After careful consideration, then, Chelsea and Curtis chose to proceed with the pregnancy.

So on October 26, 2010, the parents welcomed Zoe Lush into the world. She was delivered by cesarean – but her body had already been damaged in the womb. And although her bones were beginning to heal naturally, little Zoe was born with several fractures. Further to that, she had broken her collarbone during the C-section.
