If a mother died in childbirth?

Question

would her baby miss her?

Answer 1

of course. not only for the spiritual reasons (being connected ect..) but social reasons as well like comparing yourself to those with moms, when you see friends or kids with theirs or talking about them on Mother's Day etc, family members will also be reminding you as well and as milestones happen that you would normally share with a mother, circumstances will create those feelings of loss.

Answer 2

yes.

Answer 3

thas a good question but i would think so cause you wouldn't have that bonding time

Answer 4

Of course, AND the baby would be allowed to openly GRIEVE her throughtout their life, something the adoptee is not allowed to do.

This really isn't a theory, it's fact:

Answer 5

Yes, mothers and babies bond together before the birth.  To have that bond torn apart through a sudden death during the beginning of the child's life, when the child is most dependent on the mother, would be traumatic.

Even though the child wouldn't "know" her mother in the conscious way we think about knowing someone, there is an absolute loss that occurs.  Even if dad remarried within the first 2 years of the child's life, step-mom could be a great mom to the child, but she cannot replace the child's deceased mom.  People aren't replaceable.

Answer 6

Absolutely! It's a nature/nurture kind of thing.  It is a combination of these two aspects that make up a personality.  If one of these aspects are disrupted it leads to confusion (conscious or unconscious) within a personalities psyche.

Answer 7

I think so. It can hear her and expects to be close to her when he comes out as well as before. Later he will learn more about her and will always wonder about her.

Answer 8

Yes, at the beginning...but I am sure the baby can adapt to the new guardian after some time.

Answer 9

I think the baby would miss knowing who her birthmother was, yes.

Answer 10

do you miss your mother

Answer 11

not right away because she would never know her. but later on probably she would have wondered what her mother would have looked like and she would probably then miss her.

Answer 12

Of course.  Our instincts are geared towards needing our mother, the person who was our home during the months of pregnancy.  It is no different to the loss that adoptees feel, even when they have happy adoptions.

Answer 13

of course. the baby can hear its mothers voice the whole time hes in her stomache
