When I miscarried the twins in Texas I delivered the second baby in a bedpan just before being wheeled to the ER for an emergency d&c. Becaues I was in the trendelinburg position and in such bad shape physically I wasn't able to inspect "it" as closely as I would have liked, but I was able to glance over at the bed pan and I could see the sac sitting in the bedpan. I couldn't see what (who!) was in the sac and how developed of a baby it was but the sac was perfectly formed and perfectly intact. It looked exactly like someone had blown a bubble with bubble gum and plopped it in that bedpan.
Without being able to see the baby inside of it, it looked exactly like this although maybe a bit more pink:

(hug) I remember thinking about my miscarried baby each time I passed 10 weeks.
ReplyDeleteI've suffered 2 miscarriages in my life. The last one was perhaps the worst at 12.5 weeks. I remember looking over and seeing the sac and thinking that it looked like a little piece of chewed up gum. It was one of the worst moments of my life. I couldn't even imagine what you went through losing 2 at the same time. I'm sorry.
