I thought LONG and HARD about wether or not I should post this. I decided to post it. Sorry if it offends anyone. I will take it down if anyone objects to it being here.


I was searching for pictures of miscarriage tonight. Mainly because I really have NO idea what to ever expect. I would rather know than not know most of the time. Images like the one I will put the link to in a minute facinate me more than anything. Just the idea that we as women can create and give life to something so amazing as a baby just baffles me most of the time. No matter how long we carry them they truely are gifts from God.

I have always wondered what my baby(first loss) would have looked like if I was able to see her. Some of you know I flushed thew toilet when my water broke at 14w and never would have thought she would have come so soon. I could beat myself up over it, but instead I just chose to accept the fact that maybe God knew it wasn't best for me to see her, but rather live with my memory of her.

Anyways.... as I said I came across this image when I did a google search.....

This is a picture of a 6w old baby.... do NOT open if you don't want to see it.....

To me this just puts my faith back into TTC. Even though this baby didn't make it, the fact that our bodies can create something so perfect in just 4 weeks (from ovulation) AMAZES me.

Bobbie, I found those pictures after my loss and it helped me so much. I wanted to see mmy baby so bad, but I had a D&C. Seeing this baby was amazing!! I also found one that was of a baby how far along I was.

It really is amazing what our bodies do, that they create so much in so short of time. Its a miracle

I took a good looooooooong look at those photos, I never got to see ANY of my babies unless you count the empty sac. It truly IS amazing what we create!

I wish the dr had thought to let us spend time with our tiny baby after my surgery; he/she would have been slightly bigger at 7w1d.

So perfect, so beautiful, I'm sitting here with tears running down my face......

[babyblue]

that truly is amazing. I am so glad you shared it with me. It makes it so much more real.

Wow. Rice was 6w2d when I lost him. All I got to see what bloody clots and tissue. Seeing that picture has given me an idea of the beautiful boy I created and who will always be in my heart. Thank you Bobbie.

Wow Bobbie, that's amazing.

I had my D&C at 9 weeks, although the baby had stopped growing sometime in the 7th week. So, I never got to see what my baby looked like. Seeing that picture really made it real for me.

Thank you so much for posting that, I am awestruck...

[MinDB]

yep. that's pretty much what mine looked like, but it was still in the sac. i really wish i would have taken pictures.

[jademyst13]

Thanks Bobbie.

I was 12w but I know the baby had to have stopped before that. I too flushed everything (the whole sac) though I wish I hadn't. I was too freaked out and didn't know what to do as they didn't tell me to expect that.

Thanks Bobbie.

I was able to see & holdmy 10 week loss

I was able to see & hold my 10 week loss. It did bring me some comfort to see her and be able to tell her how sorry I was. I called my dr and he said we could bring her in and they'd do some tests, but she looked so perfect to me and i didn't want them cutting her up, so we buried her in a little box in DH's family cemetary next to where his grandfather had just been buried.

Wow, Bobbie. I am really glad you posted that. I have never seen anything like that before. I lost my baby at 9 1/2 weeks, so h/she would have been around that age if you count from actual formation (as opposed to when we start counting). That actually brings me so much peace to know what he/she might have looked like.

I am really glad you posted that - thank you.

[heatherrose415]

Lori, that is so great you got to see your baby!! My baby would have been about this babies size, I had a D&C so didnt get to see my baby, and hate that I didnt get to. I always felt such a strong need to see it and hold it.
Thats beautiful you burried her next to her grandpa!!

[*Bobbie*]

I am glad you girls feel the same way as I do about this post. I was on the fence about posting it, but now I am glad I did. I admire this womans courage to post the pics of her tiny but perfect baby.

I have always thought there should be a board on the web for images like these. They are truely amazing pictures and the miracle of life. Even if it the life was taken too soon.

[Christal]

WOW that is so amazing. Thank you for posting this. It really shows how precious a baby is no matter how small.

[mommy jenn]

[LindsLuvsSi]

Wow that's amazing!!! Thanks for sharing Bobbie! Thanks for posting. Life is so amazing and wow that totally helps. My lil baby was only 3 weeks 5 days (chemical) but still it's amazing to see that picture and it helps!

[Brittanie]

That really is beautiful. I've never had any problems seeing that. I mean, we all looked like that once. Isn't that amazing to think?

Our bodies are so amazing.
