GRAPHIC TRIGGER WARNING miscarriage photo

Hi all. I’m so sorry to post this I am at a complete loss with nobody to talk to. I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks and 2 days and I am traumatised by what I have saw. I have 4 children already. I started to get severe cramps in my back and hips and was in so much pain and blood. I felt a pop sensation in my stomach then the pain ramped up. Watery fluid and blood was coming out and a clot and then an intact fetus passed as I was stood up. I felt it like a slimy sensation coming out of my face up into some tissue. I honestly feel like I have been traumatised by this image. I screamed for my husband and was squealing with heartbreak. He also broke down when he saw it. Does this fetus look normal? I honestly do not think it looks right. I had caught pregnant whilst injecting the weight loss labs and had taken two morning after pills as it wasn’t planned but accepted and wanted none the less. But I don’t think it looks normal. It looks so different to any other 9 week fetus. I can’t stop looking at it. Please tell me I am not going mad but it looks like it has a defect. Its head seems very small and an unusual shape. The eyes also. I wish I could have got it genetically tested but I couldn’t keep it it was torturing me.

Wtf. If this is genuine I'm obviously very sorry for you but from the description I'm actually glad there isn't a photo...

Op I am really sorry for your loss. But you need to be seeking medical opinions not asking randoms to look at photos.

Please don’t post a picture. Why would you want everyone on the internet to see. At 9 weeks it wouldn’t have been formed so wouldn’t look like a baby at all. Sorry for your loss xx

I’m sorry you’ve gone through this OP. No image yet however I’m guessing it’s quite possible that the fetus had a defect that made it incompatible with life and hence the miscarriage.

You may want to consider some therapy, it can be quite traumatic especially seeing that. Therapy can really help you.

I don’t think this is fair. OP has said themselves they feel traumatised by what happened. Being able to discuss and hear other people perspectives can help.. for those who aren’t too squeamish to look at the picture. She’s put a trigger warning and made it clear the image isn’t going to be the nicest. But you decided to click on it? Why?

At 9 weeks it wouldn't be fully formed, but would be clearly an embryo with a large head and short limbs. Possibly about 1.5-2cm.
OP, it wouldn't look how you'd probably expect, so please don't assume there was something wrong.

BatshitIsTheOnlyExplanation · 09/12/2025 22:23

Just to add, I couldn't see a picture

At 9 weeks, it won’t going to look “normal”. And that’s if you were exactly 9 weeks. I’m sorry you had to go through that. How long ago did this happen? Have you spoken to your GP? Torturing yourself on whether it is “normal” or not really isn’t going to help you.

Sunshine1621 · 11/12/2025 09:20

I agree with the others. It wouldn't look normal at 9 weeks but also there isn't a photo uploaded to see.

Is this your first loss? If it is it could have been the pregnancy sac that came out that you saw. But if it was the fetus Im sorry OP.

Hi guys I decided not to post the phot because a lot of people didn’t want me to. It’s not a nice phot but it doesn’t look anything like the other 9 week fetus I have seen from other real life miscarriages. In my opinion anyway. X
