Baby Stiles

I'm going to be a grandma sometime around May 6th. Baby Stiles has now officially become a fetus rather than an embryo. That happens at 12 weeks and that is today. The photo below comes from A Child is Born by Nilsson and Hamberger. Fascinating that these kinds of photos can be taken of a developing fetus in utero.
You are beautiful and I can't wait to meet you.

Pam, I can not tell you how excited I am to welcome you to the club. It is like no other experience on this earth. And A Child Is Born is one of my all time favorite "waiting for baby" books. Congrats, Grandma. It'll be here before you know it.

That fetus is dead. Nillson used aborted fetuses for his pictures, as well as posing the fetuses, eg. placing their thumb in their mouth.
I do not believe a photo like that is currently possible with a living fetus.
