I think it depends on you. This may bring closure to you if you name your babies. I have named my baby I also lost at 7 weeks. I found a chinese gender calander and detemined the baby was a boy. I named him Luke. I am still sad about loosing him, but I do not think naming him made me feel worse. It made me feel good that my baby had a name and wasn't just "a lost fetus". I hope this helps. I am sorry for your loss. I have good days and bad days. But lately I have had more good days than bad (usually bad days are when I see pregnant people) mostly very young girls who are babies themselves. I lost mine on April 23.

thank you for your response kc. i was thinking since mine were twins i would pick a boy's name and a girl's name. i'm sorry you went through this too. i found out i lost mine the 21st and had a d&c the 26th.

No problem. When you decide on names for your little ones please let me know. Tell your husband you need time to morn and this will only help you. I lost mine with little warning. I was having some light spotting for a few days with no cramping. I had a sonogram that showed a healthy baby around 7 weeks. I took home the picture and placed it on my fridge. My husband was so excited he told everyone that night. We thought everything was fine. The next day it felt like a bubble popped and my little boy was gone. This site is great it does help knowing others are going through the same pain. The only problem is it can become additcting. I try to limit myself to 2-3 time a week. Good luck. It does get better.

I think it depends on you...I'm going to name my baby, my husband and i think its better then calling it the baby we lost.We lost the baby a week ago i was 8 weeks it would of been my 3rd but i had a ectopic and almost lost my life as well. I'm just not sure of the name because we don't no if it was a boy or girl so we are still trying to figure out a name if anyone can help please give me some ideas?Its a really hard thing to go threw and i'm very sorry for your lost.

Hi Mellissa & Kc, I lost my baby 24th april at 9 weeks. we have named our baby but not a boys or girls name cos we didnt know what sex we were having, we named our baby "Angel Star" I looked at chinese calenders and one said i was having a boy and another said a girl so i couldnt really go on that. We decided on the name on saturday and planted a rose bush on sunday(fathers day), this gave me some kind of closure. It has helped me to give my baby a name and its even more special cos my partner was the one to bring the subject up, in my head i had already name my baby "angel" and he said he wanted angel star so i couldnt of been more happier. If you feel giving your baby a name is the best and right thing for you to do then i would say do it, if your husband is not so happy with the idea then, you name the babies and may be keep it to yourself for a while until your husband comes around to the idea. I also get upset when i see pregnant women, i feel they have something i want. Deep down im happy for all these pregnant women and i just hope they know how blessed they are to be carrying a wonderful baby inside them. this is something i hope we all are blessed with in the very near future. Take care x

Hey Mellissa - I'm sorry that you lost your babies...I just lost my twins at 21w June 14th/05...it seems harder when it's two babies (not saying anyone losing a single baby is in less pain!) My boyfriend and I named our babies prior to losing them. I think (personally) it's a good idea to name your babies, I found telling my family/friends that we lost Madison & Olivia easier to say then saying "we lost our babies" it does bring a bit more closure to things too. THere's always a con to things though and when you see those names somewhere it can bring pain but usually (for me anyway) a smile comes after. I wish you luck in the future, it does get better... slowly but it does as KC said there's good days and bad days. *hugs*
