Question

i lost my baby at 21 weeks pregnate and they kept my baby she was only 1 lb and didnt qulify for a death certificate.but she was fully formed and developed. i have nightmares that they just put her in the garbage. when i asked what happens nobody could tell me.

Answer 1

the baby should have been delievered  even at five months and yes you should of had the right to bury it or cremate it, my sister lost her baby at 5 months it dies inside of her she had to still give birth to it and it was dead they then organisaed a burial for it,there would be an inquest place or go to the ceo of the hospital

Answer 2

So sorry for your loss. my neice got a little pin from the hosp. of a pair of feet that corasponded with the number of weeks of the baby.  That seemed to give her some comfort. Take peace in knowing that your child is with God in heaven  

Answer 3

My mother had a miscarriage. She told me that the hospital has a cemetary somewhere where they buried her baby. I'm sorry for your loss, but please don't worry anymore, they didn't just throw your baby away.

Answer 4

i am so sorry for your lose. at that term of your pregnacy it must have been hard.

i know when we have such a tragic event here at our hospital the child is sent to the pathologist with the placenta to determine if there are any obvious causes for death.

after that the child may be released to its parents or is properly laid to rest.

your child was not thrown in the trash i promise you. and i can fully understand your concern.

please be at peace and i wish all the best for you in the future.

I'm so sorry to hear that : ( I am pretty sure that they cremate them. Would they not give your baby to you so that you could bury her yourself?
