I Never Held You - Miscarriage, Grief, Healing and Recovery |
Maybe you had an etopic pregnancy.
Or a blighted ovum.
Maybe you had an incompetent cervix.
Or placenta previa.
Your uterus may be an unusual shape.
Or your hormonal system imbalanced.
You may have a problem with your chromosomes.
Or in the father's sperm.
You may not even know the reason why,
BUT...
You conceived a child.
You carried a child within your body.
You birthed a child, in blood and pain.
If your child survived long enough in your womb...
you may have even held your child.
You may have watched your child die.
YOU ARE A MOTHER!
