Thank you for your quick reply. Doctor didn't say anything that I'm
aware of, but I was out of it. An autopsy was performed as well as
testing chromosomes, no results yet. I heard the comment made that it
resembled a baby of someone who did drugs, but the comment was not made
at me or anything bad, because they're well aware that I never so much
as took a tylenol while pregnant, only the prescribed macrobid.
