What NDEs say
Miscarried and stillborn babies go directly to heaven, where they are loved, cared for, and grow in the presence of God, often becoming guides for their parents when they arrive.
The soul is present from conception, not at birth. Sharon Milliman heard from people who had been to the other side that even miscarried children have souls, and those souls go straight to heaven where they are loved and cared for 3. One woman, Laurie Ditto, saw miscarried people in heaven and described them as among the brightest there, greatly loved by God and their parents [4]. She has a miscarried grandchild waiting for her, and she prays for that child by name, never leaving it out.
The accounts agree that these souls are not lost or in limbo. They grow up on the other side, becoming like brothers and sisters to other children in heaven 3. Some souls know in advance that a miscarriage is part of the plan and may choose whether to fully attach to the body 2. The baby often decides to leave for reasons of its own 1. What matters is that they accomplished what they came to do, even if they never took a first earthly breath [4].

If you have lost a child this way, the accounts say your child is not alone. They are growing, they are loved, and they know you love them. When you arrive, they will be there to meet you. Laurie Ditto believes her miscarried grandchild will take her hand and guide her into places she could not otherwise enter, because that child carries an innocence and purity she does not [4]. Your love reaches them now, and it will matter then.
