An Instagram account dedicated to raising awareness of miscarriage shared an image given to them by a mother who had lost her baby between the ninth and tenth week of pregnancy (seven to eight weeks past fertilization). The remarkable photo was taken one year ago when this mother lost her precious baby girl. The baby’s mother shared the image because she wanted “to honor this child and every child who won’t grow up…” and @miscarriage.stories<\/a> posted the beautiful photo.<\/p>\n

“This is my child, Elsie […],” she wrote. “She was born in Colorado on Nov 27th at 5:30am. [Three] days after my grandmas funeral. [Six] days after my birthday. [Seven] days after my grandma passed.\u00a0The next day was thanksgiving. I flew home that night.”<\/p>\n

She wrote that she was about 12 weeks along in her pregnancy, but she learned that her baby girl had died two to three weeks earlier. After a “full strong labor and delivery” Elsie “was born perfectly in her waters, en caul, with the placenta surrounding. This photo was taken after that was peeled away.”<\/p>\n
