This isn't completely accurate. I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks and I passed a little lizard-y thing. It looked a bit like when a lizard egg breaks and the lizard inside isn't done yet. I had another miscarriage at 12 weeks and passed a little baby like the size of a quarter, still alien but less lizard-y. I don't understand how this article can say the below. Am I a freak of nature that grows babies at breakneck pace? The doctors seemed to think everything was normal for all of my pregnancies, including the successful one.

This image shows the gestational sac of a nine-week pregnancy. This is everything that would be removed during an abortion and includes the nascent embryo, which is not easily discernible to the naked eye.

Above is pregnancy tissue at seven weeks. There is still no visible embryo. The gestational sac is not yet half an inch. “I have been in the training field, and medical students and clinicians who see it are also shocked. That is how pervasive this misinformation is,” Fleischman says.
