Hey all,

When it comes to memes, I'm not familiar with them. And when I looked them up, it came up with that they're suppose to be funny... that's kind of hard to do when it's as serious subject as the lose of life. So I'm not sure if I've done it right, but I've tried to come off on trying to get people to grasp this reality-
This is a 10wk old unborn baby. Classified as an Embryo, but I don't see them as the scientific term, I see a baby.
At 250,000 new brain cells each minute, between 9-12wks old, the babe will be around 3 inches long, have nails, a strong heart beat, be starting to use his mum as his personal bathroom, and be developing into a fine little girl or boy. They're alive, as much as you and I are. His well-being may be dependent on his mum, but he is an individual, unique human to himself.
Babies are a miracle... "On average, 20% of all couples trying to get pregnant will not conceive in the first year of trying...Only about 50 (out of 100 million) sperm actually get to the place where the egg should be after navigating through the minefield that is the cervical mucus, the uterus and the fallopian tubes. And then they need to hope that this fussy egg is open for business. The egg is only available for fertilisation between 12 and 24 hours per cycle although the few surviving health sperm can lie in wait for the egg for up to five days. Following penetration of the sperm into the ovum, the egg is fertilised and becomes an embryo. However, cell division and implantation of the embryo must take place for conception to be successful. This is the process of the embryo attaching itself to the uterine wall or uterine lining and happens around six days after fertilisation. Now this embryo needs to cling on to life – and the risk of miscarriage is at it’s highest immediately following implantation. It’s thought that up to half of all fertilised eggs do not survive with many ending in an “unnoticed miscarriage” which may appear to be a period. It’s estimated that up to 20% of known pregnancies will end up miscarrying and a large proportion of these will occur in the first trimester..."
I know everyone's situation is different, and that the pregnancy may not be wanted. We're taught in this day and age that our bodies are our own, and we should be able to do what we think or is taught right about it. But from conception, that life is a new human being, who needs YOU. Whether adoption may be the option down the road, is up to you. There are services online if not in your local area, that can support you in which ever decision you go for. You can't take back what's already been done, and for those I know who have been through miscarriage, whether through abortion or natural, it's just a heartbreak and irreversible loss I pray you don't experience.
