Its because, apparently, if you lose your baby before 24 weeks its a miscarriage but after and your baby was still born. It made me very angry as i lost my little girl at 20 weeks a couple of years ago and she wasn't seen as a baby on paper.
Im with you they are babies even when they are as big as a poppy seed!
I am seeing today as a very happy time! making me worry so much less about being early this time
