Anatomy Image - Miscarriage - 19 Weeks

This is heart breaking. I had a miscarriage when I 23 years old. No one can comfort you. The loss is yours to bear as the only persons who was physically connected to that baby. I wasn’t very far along and would have had no idea what was coming out of me and when. Most women miscarry into a toilet. That’s a harsh reality. But the baby is not there anymore. They have passed on and their little bodies are just somehow going back into the natural cycle of life. It is hard to come to terms with the fact that pieces of your child were flushed down a toilet. But you can’t tell what anything is. And there is so much blood and tissue. It breaks my heart to even think about it now and it’s been 25 years. I’m so sorry to every woman who has had to endure this pain and the fact that the authorities got involved is despicable.

People are senseless trying to press charges against someone who disposed of her fetus in an unorthodox manner. She is grieving as it is and then they do this? Shameful! I'm glad they dropped the charges.

As someone who has lost a baby at this stage and helped other mothers capture memories of their lost baby’s, this isn’t the best representation but it is what they commonly look like when first birthed. Inside the membranes there is a little person who was fully formed usually however the death processes often cause discolouration, skin slippage, and even deformation of the skull from the forces of the birthing process. It’s a very graphic sight. Their skin also dries and breaks down very quickly once exposed to oxygen because they were never meant to endure such conditions at this stage. More support needs to be given and more education is essential to ensure that the average person understands that pregnancy loss, stillbirth and miscarriage are actually far more common than thought. One in five. One in five pregnancies end this way. And that’s just an average. Some women like me have much higher rates of loss. Out of 9 pregnancies I have 4 children. Not even counting the 2 multiples. That’s still less than a 50% success rate.

I’m a support worker in gynaecology and BEP(bleeding in early pregnancy) for the NHS and it’s heartbreaking to tell any woman that’s she’s miscarriaging. I only work with ladies up to 15 weeks and then labour ward take over. Miscarriage is so much more common than people realise 😢😔

Everyone saying it’s not 19 weeks because they had a miscarriage and it was “fully formed”… this baby is clearly in an amniotic sac still. We can’t see everything perfectly. But I can make out what I THINK is a placenta, a little head, and legs through the sac.

This is no way a fetus at 19 weeks I had a miscarriage at 20 weeks and he was perfectly formed 10 fingers 10 toes the most gorgeous little face.

I had a miscarriage at 19 weeks as well, although I was told that my baby had passed at 15 weeks...it took my body 4 additional weeks to clue in. He was fully formed and I was able to hold him in my hand after he was born. It's not a fun process to endure, my heart goes out to her.

I did a more formal update on Tiktok, but yes all the charges have been dropped. The DA said there was no relevant case law to support the improper disposal or the concealment of a body charges.

Tift county thankfully dropped the charges against her! Poor girl has been through enough ffs.

This is so sad 😿 she doesn't deserve to be criminalized because of a traumatic experience and how she decided to cope. The world is so cruel

I wish that it was possible to put this on a more widely used platform, it's so annoying to find images that aren't from obviously biased sources

Thank you for sharing. Yes it is hard to see but my heart is with that young lady!!!
