From www.news.bbc.co.uk personal experience of miscarriage.
Thank you for your frank and honest article. My wife and I lost our 1st child at 26 weeks,while in the USA. He stopped moving and an ultrasound confirmed his heart was no longer beating. We flew home with my wife, knowing she was carrying our dead child and she had to go through labour to deliver a lifeless baby boy. He looked perfect in every way and we still dont know why it happened. Nothing will ever replace Samuel. The pain will not disappear and time does not heal completely. But it's good to hear of positive future events like yours. Gary Birch, Taunton England.
At 26 weeks the child is fully formed the sex can be determined and the dacial features are apparent.The child is over 25 cms long and weighs 1lb. There are those here, so called experts solely by their admission.Who have accused me of lying. If only I was, if only, the empty searing ache was as false, as the sensation of a missing, still viable, amputated limb. You should hang your opinionated heads in shame.
These kinds of stories are always so sad. I hate hearing about them. I can't even imagine what it must be like for parents to go through this sort of thing. I don't even want to imagine the feelings and emotions they must feel. It's such a shame.
Who the heck cares if it was a boy or a girl, a human being just died and the mother had to knowingly carry the body in her womb for a period of time. God damn it!
That's heart breaking. I can't even imagine the mother's distress.
...yeah mama always talked of her 4 mis-carriages before I was birthed...she was o- and Dad o+ blood types.. siblings I never met.. by the time I "came along" mama far along ion life... "any wonder!" smile
That's so terrible sad...I can't begin to imagine the heart ache and trauma the mtoher and father for that matter, must have experienced and continue too...
sorry for the type-os there, I need to lift my game there...
...GypsyGirl...your game is fine sweetie... *hugs*
Gemini and Gypsy you have described the agony completely the pain is unimaginable and enduring. And the typos are ok
Oh, god, that poor woman.
it's always painful to hear stories like that.
It is just so sad...
res, what the fuck is your problem? Of course it matters if it was a boy or a girl. What if the couple had just found out what they were going to have. What if they had been trying to have a child for a long time, and suddenly there dreams were shattered. You insensative little prick. How would you feel if your spouse and yourself were in that situation. You certainly wouldn't like others telling you that it didn't matter what the sex of the child was.

Take it easy my friend. What we have hear is a failure in communication, an unfortunate and honest mistake. I apologize if I came across as insensitive. I was replying to post 2, where I thought goblin was making the point that he was right and that others ("so called experts solely by their admission who have accused me {goblin} of lying") were actually wrong. Do you see my mistake? I thought goblin was posting this story just to show that he was right and that his "accusers" were wrong about the child's sex being determined. So I apologize to you and to goblin. Yet I'm still unclear about why goblin posted this story. Of course I think it's important for the parents to know what the sex of the child was, but in goblin's posts, it seems as though he's concerned more about proving his accusers wrong than concerned with the tragedy. That was my mistake.
