Fetal Death

Fetal death refers to the spontaneous intrauterine death of a fetus at any time during pregnancy. Fetal deaths later in pregnancy (at 20 weeks of gestation or more, or 28 weeks or more, for example) are also sometimes referred to as stillbirths. Of those with a diagnosed cause, the most common will include: Placental dysfunction leading to fetal growth restriction. Placental abruption and other placental disorders (such as vasa previa). Genetic abnormalities. Congenital birth defects. Umbilical cord complications. Uterine rupture.
