Burial after m/c

I had a m/c @ 12 weeks in mid-April. I have a question that I have not read much about. In my situation there were fetal remains, we were required by the hospital to have a burial. Has anyone else had to go through this & is this common? I must say it was one of the hardest things I had to go through.

I always thought the hospital did that.. Thats terrible that they are making you go through that.. Good Luck and terribly sorry for your lose..

luvin3 - 72 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I'm so sorry, hope you are doing better. We had some friends that lost a baby at 16 weeks and the hospital took care of everything. My mom is an ER nurse (washington state) and said that typically the hospital takes care of the remains unless the family requests something different. Best wishes

It must be hard and I send you all my love for this tragedy but I think it would make for some good closure to you and your family! Best Wishes in the future!

mattie4 - 73 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Im so sorry for your loss :(. When i had my miscarriage, the hospital took care of the remains. I am not sure as to why they would have you do it...i could see where it could give some closure though. I guess it really depends on the hospital, maybe even the state.

asutori - 73 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I'm so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine what that would be like. Although it is not my own experience, one of my coworker's unfortunately had several MCs however, the hospital took care of the remains; they did not make them have a burial. Then once a year, for all the parents/families who have had a loss, they have a large burial ceremony with the ashes that remained. I suppose the process is different depending on your location and the hospital policies. I'm so so sorry again, but wish you all the best. God bless!
