Heartbreaking!...Mother Shares Photos Of Her 19weeks Old Miscarried Son

                          Perfectly formed: Alexis Fretz holds the tiny hand of her son Walter
It's so sad to go through pains of early pregnancy sickness, hoping to see the joy that comes from it, only to be torn to piece when all your hopes and dreams are all scattered, knowing you will never get to see that dream come true. It hurts, no matter how many children you might have, the pains will keep refreshing over and over again.

A Pennsylvania mother who gave birth to her son at 19 weeks posted her story and photographs on her blog to share with friends and family, but her brave choice has spread way beyond her immediate circle to bring comfort to other grieving mothers.

 Alexis Fretz was 30 years old and 19 weeks pregnant with her third child when she began bleeding lightly. Not overly worried, she called her midwife and as a precaution was advised to head to the ER in a Kokomo, Indiana hospital for a check-up. By the end of that day, her son Walter had been born and died in her arms.
