Ed Sheeran - Small Bump [Official Music Video]

From every parent who lost a child, thank you Ed Sheeran.

"Maybe they needed you up there"
I'm almost crying, oh my God that's sad.

As a midwife, I went to the funeral of a baby born sleeping that I delivered. They played this song. Never have I felt such emotion. I went home and googled it, and that's how I learned who Ed Sheeran was. From that day, every time I hear him sing I have to hold back the tears.

Every baby is a precious gift. God help those who’ve lost children.

RIP my son, Monty James Tyler Smith, Stillbirth, 28/10/2018, mummy and daddy will love and never forget you...forever and ever xxxx

My mom has had over 10 miscarriages and I never knew about them, so I show her this song and she broke down crying. She told me about how she got to hold him in her hands and she would always whisper that she loved him/her. Once she adopted my brother after her 10th miscarriage, and then she had me, but she told me that she whispered to me that I was the one. That was 17 years ago.
She told me how much pain it was to go through all of it, she wanted a baby so badly. I hugged her and cried into her arms. My mom died 2 years ago and this song was played at her funeral. I heard my brother whisper to her before she died "Tell all my brothers and sisters I love them."

"maybe you were needed up there, but we're still unaware as why"
To those who lost their little angels, hugs.

No song has ever made me cry as much as this one

My baby boy came out at 25 weeks barely alive, the doctors gave me an hour to spend with him and said he would probably die in that time and to prepare myself for that. He was laying on me and I kept on kissing him, then suddenly he took a small breath and let out a teensy squeak. He was put in an incubator but they still said he may not make it. We lived in that hospital for the next 5 months. He is 15 now and can't do too much physical activity because his lungs never developed properly, and still sleeps with an oxygen tank, but he is happy and beautiful. This song reminds me of our journey even though he ended up making it. I don't know why I'm telling a bunch of strangers this but I think we can all agree that a mothers love is magical. Thinking of all you who have lost little ones, or others with premature babies. You are all so strong ❤️ Happy Mother's Day to everybody!

Listening to this song already makes me want to cry but reading the comments just breaks my heart :(

I won’t tell my story. I just want to thank you, Ed.

Lost my daughter two weeks ago today. I was 5 months pregnant. She had my eyes ❤️ heard this song a million times before and didn’t know I’d ever relate to it this much

No parent should outlive their child. It's a wound, an agony, a loss so profound it never heals.

So much memories to this song... When I was 20 weeks pregnant, the obstetrician told me that my little girl didn't have a heartbeat anymore. The only thing that I could do that day, was lying in my bed and listening to this song non-stop. Thank you, Ed, for this beautiful song.

he's the definition of a FRIEND, to write this for you're homie is beyond amazing

For all those who have lost a baby, thank you Ed for your compassion. 😢

That last line always gets me...

And here goes Ed Sheeran again, breaking my heart into a million pieces.

I still get shivers listening to this. You feel every emotion from his voice.

I love how Ed is not afraid to talk about deep problems in his songs, he was so mature from such a young age. This made me tear up...

My fiance proposed to me when thinking out loud was playing on the radio. Then a few months later our sweet baby boy died when I was 26 weeks pregnant. I found this song shortly after. I feel so connected to Ed Sheerans music, I feel like he writes just for me as silly as that is. I can't say that about any other artist. Music is such a powerful tool to heal a broken heart and a wounded soul. I am so grateful for his music.

The sudden reveal right before the end of the song really nails the unique pain of losing an unborn child. You spend so much time dreaming of what they'll be like, look like, think like, and then in a second it can all fade away. As humans we're just not equipped to deal with that level of devastation.

I just lost my baby yesterday 3/6/23 and I just needed to hear this song. Thank you Ed! 😭💔

I found out I lost my son on Monday. I saw him be delivered yesterday and it hurts. This song helped me cry and feel the pain I didn't know would make sense. Thank you Ed

For my baby boy. Mommy loves and misses you! R.I.P 8/26/16

scoopity woop

This songs just hits different. I can’t even imagine what some one goes thru after losing a child.

Ed Sheeran has made a lot of lovely songs, but small bump is my all time favorite.
You heal people with your lovely music, you make them not feel alone.
Thanks

Listening to this at Christmas time and just sobbing uncontrollably. Such a beautiful song. My sweet angel was born at 7 months and he only lived for 3hrs due to a very rare heart disease. This would have been his second Christmas. He was my one and only....thank you for this Ed Sheeran.

I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks. This song is for our baby, Sky, whose heartbeat we never got to hear. I hope God hears it when He holds you in His arms.

I lost my first baby 2 years ago at 6 weeks , this song helped me back then and still helps now with the loss

Well done Ed for raising these important issues that are so common. Miscarriage is extremely hard to deal with mentally - thank you for bringing it out in the open and get people talking. This will help us to heal ❤

My sister was a stillborn, I was only seven and didn't truly understand what was happening.
I remember being so happy to have a sister, not understanding exactly how she was made, but just knowing I was going to be a big sister was really exciting, but it ended, and to explain it to me must have been so hard for my mum and dad. My mum shut off for such a long time, fights between my parents became more frequent, my mum would be left crying, and I would have to be there for her while still trying to get through school everyday.
It hits me every now and then. That I will never know what colour her eyes were, never know how our bond would be, whether I would walk her to school every morning.
As a child I became more and more quiet, shut off from the world although I didn't realise it until I reached high school. It's hard to explain how I have a sister, but she will always be my sister, but it gets so complicated and just brings back memories when my family was torn apart. And yet, without that, I would never have seen the beauty of the world. I feel so cruel for thinking in such a way, but the grieving made me more open to the world, to see past the deception of life and to take every second because it counts so much that I can live it.
My mother recently gave birth to my 14 months old brother, and we all can't quite believe that he's here. He isn't replacing my sister, as some people might think, he's our little miracle. And when he is older, and we visit my sister's grave, I will promise to him that both of us will always be there for him.
This song is so personal to both me and my mum, it chokes me every time it listen to it, but I always smile because it will always be my sister's song.
For those who have suffered a miscarriage, who have had a stillborn or just know what it's like to be in that traumatic situation, it DOES get better, it may take years, but it will get better :) and there will always be people there for you.

I delivered my son two weeks ago at 22+4 and held him in my arms until he passed. Each day I wake up and feel like it's a punishment to be without my son, the love of my life. I'm only 16 and you might think that I'm a stupid teen and don't know what love is, but carrying my son for 5 months and feeling him kick made me know what love truely is. I would trade anything in the world to have him back.

Plus is literally my favorite album of all time. pure talent, creativity, storytelling, humor, emotions, different themes, all at the finest possible way.

My daughter was born in eternal sleep at week 18 due to Trisomy 18 last week. This song has been on repeat. Thank you, Ed Sheeran.

Twelve babies, and only two lived. Loved every one of them, even if it was just for a few minutes. The two that lived have given me three wonderful grandsons between the two of them. I live vicariously through those boys!

The comments on this video are so heartbreaking

RIP to all the beautiful souls who are no longer with us 🙏🏻❤️

Ed Sheeran has made so many timeless songs, but this one especially, is an absolute gem !

What a beautiful song

Everyone has sad stories..and I'm just here like: I like this song.

I lost my son 38 week pregnant in july 😰 it actually was a big bump but thank you ed sheeran! And I'm so sorry for the friend he wrote the song for and all the parents with babys/children in heaven 👼🏼

I have been playing this song on repeat since one day ago when I lost my son at 31wks. He lived for 17hrs,I touched his little fingers and feet, assured him that I loved him. It's sad but his beautiful spirit is with me

Oh my god...I'm crying. In 22 years, no song has ever made me cry. This was one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking things I've ever seen or heard.

My mom lost my baby brother and just sitting hear hearing this song breaks my heart. After she lost my brother my mom was never the same drinking became her main priority. My and my older sister would sit at home sometimes and cry because we either haven't ate for weeks or we just didn't know what to do. My moms boyfriend was very abusive and he hated me and my sister. About 2 years later my mom got pregnant with my now 7 year old baby sister and I thank good everyday for her. My mom is slowly getting better but she's still my world and so is my baby brother. If you are listening little buddy your big sister loves you and this is your song. I hope god is taking great care of you and I can't wait to meet you one day.
lots of love x

To all the people who are still listening to this, you all are the real fans.

My sister just recommended that I should listen to this song. Last week my water broke, I was a day away from being 17 weeks. I gave birth to a beautiful lifeless baby boy who had my nose and mouth, but he had his Daddy's face. I am the mother a beautiful baby boy, even though I lost him he is still my baby boy. My sweet little Lucas.

I'm currently pregnant & under an extreme amount of stress. When I'm overwhelmed I just listen to this song & find comfort in it. Reminding me that at the end of it all I'll have a blessing

I lost my baby on Friday..... I’m completely devastated and this song really brought it home again. 😭

21 years ago today my first son was born. He was stillborn. I’ll see him again one day. Just like the songs says you were needed up there. I love you Carson Lewis Holt

Just miscarried at 8 weeks.. It's devastating.. To anyone else who lost their little angel - i am sending you million hugs

This song was played at my 8 week old grandson's funeral. He was born 13 weeks premature and lost his fight for life he weighed just 3lb. My son carried his son into the church in a tiny little blue hand made wooden coffin. God bless you my darling nanny will always love you now and forever XXX

Everything throught out the song was perfect and peaceful, as usual. But those last 4 lines leaved a scar in my heart.

This song was released the day we had our twin boys who were born sleeping at 16 weeks pregnant. Thankyou Ed 💙

You can tell he is singing from his heart, things like this all touch us in different ways

My girlfriend told me she was pregnant, I dropped out of sch to get a job as a Police Officer, here i am at the academy looking out of the window, waiting to get home in 3 months to tell my girl and baby im ready to provide and keep them safe forever.....this song describes my life at this moment...it pushes me to take responsibility and be a father that i wanted when i was a kid....Thank you Lord for everything.

Sometimes I wonder how Ed Sheeran is able to write such beautiful and deep lyrics when he hasn't even lived the situation he's describing..

This is such a wonderful song for any who have had the pain of a miscarriage and worse a cot death, I have had both. Thank you Ed. Your a kind man.

I listened to this song seven years ago and never thought about how powerful the pain is in this song... I never thought I could relate to or understand the pain of this song... but last week I lost my twin girls at 20 weeks... I feel like the ground has crumbled under my feet...

'Small Bump' Lyrics
You're just a small bump unborn in four months you're brought to life
You might be left with my hair but you'll have your mother's eyes
I'll hold your body in my hands, be as gentle as I can
But for now you're a scan of my unmade plans
A small bump in four months you brought to life
And I'll whisper quietly and give you nothing but truth
If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you
You are my one and only
And you can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
You are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
And you'll be alright
You're just a small bump, I know you'll grow into your skin
With a smile like hers and a dimple beneath your chin
Fingernails the size of a half grain of rice
And eyelids closed to be soon open wide
A small bump, in four months you'll open your eyes
And I'll hold you tightly and tell you nothing but truth
If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you
You are my one and only
And you can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
You are my one and only
And you can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
And you'll be alright
Then you can lie with me, with your tiny feet
When you're half asleep I'll leave you be
Right in front of me, for a couple weeks
So I can keep you safe
'Cos you are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
You are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
And you'll be alright
'Cos you were just a small bump unborn for four months, then torn from life
Maybe you were needed up there but we're still unaware as why.

This was a song for his close friend. I fully respect Ed Sheerran

I lost my first baby at 12 weeks, back in 2016 my heart still breaks all the time for that baby.

I have always loved this song. I delivered my son sleeping Sepetember 15, 2019 4 days before my 32nd birthday. This song is all i wanted to listen to, and whenver i find myself thinking about my son this song seems to pop up and heal me. Thank you Ed for sharing your life with us. Your music is healing to all who listen to it.

We Played this at out daughters funeral. It summed everything up for us. Miss you baby girl

Sitting here remembering the way my baby made me feel. She was the love of my life. I lost her at 30 weeks this Nov 3rd. Im still so heartbroken and cant help but listen to this song and sob. I miss her so much. To all the mommys out there who werent able to hold, see or hear their angels, you are not alone! Stay strong

Just lost our baby today. Nothing prepares you. You cannot move on

I lost my baby girl, this song has a special place in my heart for her, I love and miss her ❤️

Lost my unborn baby last week at 11 weeks. Few days was my 12 week scan :( 17-3-17 mummy loves you so much. Sleep tight my little Angel

R.I.P Oliver 18.07.13, R.I.P Olivia 08.02.16 we miss you both every single day... You'll both never be forgotten xx

My granddaughter was still born, I helped deliver her, we played this song at her funeral. It broke my heart 💔

I remember hearing this for the first time after my wife having numerous miscarriages. It absolutely broke me as I had been there for my wife and never thought how it had affected me. I cried so hard more than I had ever cried before. I am happy to say that same year my boy was born and he is 9 years old now. I still cry when I hear it. To all the mothers and fathers that have lost their baby stay strong you are not alone.

This is by far one of Ed's more meaningful songs. Raw emotion is just flooding through every word.
I almost had a baby brother a few years back... (RIP little guy xx)

A beautiful song for those who've lost babies. It comforts me because I've lost 5.

Sad song it hits hard as a parent
I am so thankful for all of my beautiful children ❤

8 years later Ed is now blessed with Lyra... 🖤

The only song that has ever hit close enough to home to make me cry .... and it gets me almost every time.

I was a week late. I was diagnosed with autism. The doctors said i would never be smarter than a 3 year old.... Now i'm 15 with all pre ap classes and close to being valedictorian. I still have autism. I still have a few mistakes here and there, but hey, i am alive and better than what i was told.

It's crazy how we are listening to this song again as different people. This song is legendary.

My son was born full term on February 2nd without a heartbeat. This makes me cry every time. It sums up everything I’ve been feeling from the day I found out my girlfriend was pregnant.

i’m not pregnant, never bern pregnant, not planning to get pregnant any time soon, but this makes me sob till i’m dehydrated. probably cause over others who i’m close too experiences

Anyone else realized how the beat is like the baby`s heartbeat and in the 4 final verses it has stopped

This was my first Ed Sheeran song and the emotional connection will last with me for a lifetime.

My whole pregnancy I was told I had a "small bump".. RIP babygirl. We miss you everyday ❤️‍🩹💔♥️

Today me and my wife went for a scan at 21 weeks and found out our baby boys heart stopped beating around 20 weeks, this is our second loss this year, with no obvious signs as to why it happened after hearing a strong heartbeat 4 weeks ago. Been thinking about this song all day 😭
Update 29/5/20 we now have our rainbow baby, a beautiful 9 month old girl named Alara Alma ❤️

This is so sad, I really hope this wasn't based off personal experience, I could never imagine losing a child, even one that's still growing inside. I mean, I'm only 17, but the thought is still so sad.

This song is absolute perfection. I simply cannot describe it

I’ll always honour my two lost babies to this song 😢 ❤ thank you Ed. Xxx

No matter how many times I hear this song it still makes me emotional . The excitement of getting pregnant , picturing what they will look like to have them taken away is truely the worst feeling I’ve ever experienced . It’s like the lyrics understand

The raw qualities of this video just make me cry. This song didn't need embellishment, and I'm extremely glad they realized that.

I am 99,99% sure I won’t be a mother ever in my life, but I feel deeply for all you guys that wished to be and it didn’t carry out okay.
This song is so beautiful.

It's been exactly 9 years since this beautiful song came!

I find myself coming back to this song, everyday. me and my girlfriend lost our son, 5 months into the pregnancy back in April. with Christmas coming up, it's hard. my condolences to anyone who's lost their child.

I thought the whole song was really sweet... And then was crushed by the last two verses.

the pain of losing a child never goes away.

Ed Sheeran makes feelings that you have never lived before touch your soul so deeply... All the love and the support for your music and for anyone who has ever went through such heartbreaking experiences! God is with you. ❤🙏

Your a bloody legend Ed Sheeren
! Who agrees he’s a legend?

I lost a little boy at 27 weeks. I still think about him every day. I just wish I knew why he died.

As a mom who just lost their child, I'll say: thank you.
This song, as sad as it is, gives me comfort.
04.17.21 was the best day of my life and I'll always miss my Hector, my litte monkey. Mom loves you.

This song reminds me of my daughter, who’d be 16 years old this Oct… Not a day goes by where I do not think about her… My Angel baby, Jessie ❤
