I don't think that was the case here. After dropping 11 babies, mom spent about two hours trying to pass what ended up looking like a fertilized egg that died at some point during pregnancy. it was large, hard and off white colored. As she was straining to pass this she ruptured the yolk sacs of three babies behind this unfertilized mass. My suspicion is that they died inside of her after the sacs ruptured and were not passed immediately. I have had this happen once before. As soon as this big egg passed, three dead babies popped out. One being the one in this thread. Good news is the last thing to pop out was the 12th baby in an unruptured egg sac.
