If parents "don't want a D&C...and they are 16 weeks or beyond, then yes, they could be induced. They would have a very small baby that looks very immature, but they still would be able to see their baby."

We are deeply sorry for your loss. Please know that there is not any one, perfect way to walk through this process, nor is there much anyone can do to prepare for such a heartbreak. However, you are not alone.

Karla Iacampo, MD, is an OB/GYN in Santa Monica, CA.
