I wonder if the author ever saw her own unborn child on ultrasound.
At eight weeks from conception (ten weeks as obstetrics measure it) I saw my unborn daughter leap her length in my womb, in response to a push from an ultrasound probe.
Four days later she was entirely still. We learned that she had trisomy 21, Downs syndrome, and had died in utero when development failed, as it does naturally for eighty percent of affected unborn babies.
But for eight weeks, she was fully human, and oh, so alive. And still loved.
Than you for telling this about your tiny daughter. Amen. Amen.
