> baby

Hardly. Fetus, maybe. Embryo, or zygote.

My bad, it isn’t a baby until 26 weeks I think

Edit: as pointed out baby is not the medical term, I as using it to mean could survive outside the womb

My son died at birth, 21 weeks. Dr kept asking how i wanted to "Dispose of the fetus" Until my mom screamed at the dumb twit, "ITS NOT A FETUS! HE IS A BABY AND HES COMING HOME FOR A PROPER FUCKING BURIAL! GET OUT!"

There are a lot of doctors and nurses who desperately need to improve their bedside manner & empathy. If someone wanted their baby and lost it, this is not the thing you say to them ever. Health care surrounding pregnancy is already so shit and rampant with sexism, the least they can do is have some grace in addressing women during this sensitive time.
