Pregnancy Loss - General

General Loss Information

Miscarriage at Home

Why is my baby still inside of me when he/she is already dead?
Often the baby's placenta will not "realize" that the baby has passed.  It still may continue to grow.  The placenta is attached to the uterine wall and the baby is "attached" by the umbillical cord.  Unless the placenta releases from the uterine wall, or the umbilical cord deteriates, the baby tends to stay inside of the mother.

How To Help Your Children

Babies with serious medical issues
First of all, if you are being rushed into a decision,  know there is not any true rush.  There is time to make a decision well into the third trimester.  Take your time and research.  Whether your child goes to heaven sooner or later, you don't want to be second guessing yourself for the rest of your life.  Make a FULLY informed decision so you are not tortured for the rest of your life.   I recommend the  book" A Gift of Time" by Amy Kuebelbeck to be truly educated before making a decision.  I have it on our book page but, you can also order it from other on-line book sites.  Please educate yourself as much as possible before making any decisions.

After Pregnancy Loss

Drying up Breast Milk

I had to write and thank you for what you are doing.  It is never easy to loose a baby, but you have helped me know how I can deal with my sweet boy's tiny, frail body.  I am so grateful to have gotten to see him when I miscarried at 10 1/2 weeks - so grateful - but I was entirely at a loss what to do with his tiny frame.  I could not conceive of anything less than a burial, but had no idea how to go about it.  An old shoe box under the tree in the yard, while fine for a canary, seemed so inappropriate for my son. You have helped me to understand what I can do to take the next step in healing and helping my other children find peace and closure.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.  God bless you!
