1. the positive pregnancy test,
Beta HCG levels don’t drop immediately a pregnancy ends and therefore
it is usually possible to produce a positive pregnancy test
to keep even after early fetal demise has been confirmed.
2. Ultrasound photos , even of an empty sac can be treasured.
Don't laminate ultrasound “flimsies” as it destroys them.
3. Choosing a name is also something that is important. A name personalises the baby making him an individual rather than an event. It may be easier to say “when I had peter” than “when I had the miscarriage” Surviving and subsequent children also find it easier to refer to the baby as a person with a name rather than as an occurrence. If the gender of the baby can’t be determined or is unknown then parents can still call their baby by a unisex name eg Jordan, Taylor, Ashley or by a name such as star or gumnut.
4. A histopathology report will also provide concrete evidence
of the existence of a pregnancy.
5. You can wear jewelry to help you remember. If you click on the feet
above you will go to a site where you can purchase lovely little
pieces of jewelry. The jewelry features tiny hands and feet. These are
the actual size of an 8 week fetus. They also have a huge range of other
memory creation ideas...well worth a visit. Also the site below is also
worth a visit if you are looking for jewelry.
Sweet child of my dreams...
destined never to part.
No love could be deeper...
you grew in my heart.
