Limbo

Limbo is where the Catholic Church believes that un-baptized babies with orignial sin. Limbo is the permenate status of babies who die in infancy, before they could be baptized, and thus not having been freed from orginial sin. Theologists who believed in this thought that it was a place of maxiumum natural happiness, and minmal punishment. Limbo has never been explicitly defined by the church, and in more recent times, it is a more common belief that dead infants may go to heaven rather than Limbo.

it seems crazy to think that pre-mature babies could already be condemned by the church before birth.
