“I thought the world was ending,” Heather Riley said. “I thought, what have I done? This is my fault.” Four months into their daughter’s life, Heather and Callum Riley found themselves at a crossroads.

Harper Riley’s head shape was wide and short rather than symmetrical and oval, the likely result of her head being pressed against her mother’s pelvis before she was born. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, this occurs in approximately 20 percent of babies born naturally.
