The baby in the bubble (this might be TMI)...

I will be 8 weeks on Monday when I have my sonogram and earlier today I was image googling pictures of 8 week fetus (feti?) and one of the pictures brought back a very strong memory.



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:
