IUFD – Intrauterine Fetal Demise

“It’s been a while since she felt baby move”
“Safest to push…”
“The tissues will have begun to degrade”
“Gentle traction”
nothing could have prepared me
to hold that floppy, grey, not-cold,
yet distinctly not-warm form
Numb in the aftermath – worry they think I’m heartless
In the car, I cry so hard I can’t breathe
