Intrauterine fetal death is when an unborn baby (fetus) dies inside the womb before birth. This is described as 'late' when it happens in a woman who is 24 weeks pregnant or more, and is estimated to occur in 1% of all pregnancies.

The embryo develops into a fetus and remains in the uterus until birth. An ectopic pregnancy can be fatal without prompt treatment. For example, the fallopian tube can burst, causing internal abdominal bleeding, shock, and serious blood loss.

Stillbirth is when a baby dies in the womb after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Most stillbirths happen before a woman goes into labor, but a small number happen during labor and birth.

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the leading cause of death among infants one month to one year of age, taking the lives of about 2,500 children each year in the United States. An additional 3,500 infants die each year from other causes of sudden and unexpected infant death (SUID), such as suffocation.

In the case of fetal demise, a dead fetus that has been in the uterus for 4 weeks can cause changes in the body's clotting system. These changes can put a woman at a much higher chance of significant bleeding if she waits for a long time after the fetal demise to deliver the pregnancy.

The last stage of prenatal development is the fetal stage, which lasts from two months after conception until birth. About one month into this stage, the sex organs of the fetus begin to form. The fetus quickly grows as bones and muscles form, and it begins to move inside the uterus.

It's called a missed miscarriage. Your baby dies, but for some reason your body isn't aware of it and there are no signs or symptoms.

Chemical pregnancies typically result in fetal loss within two to four weeks of implantation. As with miscarriages that occur later on in pregnancy, a certain degree of cramping and bleeding can be expected following the loss of a chemical pregnancy.

At 20 weeks, the fetus cannot survive outside of the uterus. All organs and structures have been formed, and a period of simple growth begins.

Vanishing twin syndrome, which refers to the condition in which one twin dies and is “absorbed” by the other, or by the mother or the placenta, occurs in anywhere from 20% to 30% of pregnancies with multiple babies.

Decelerations are temporary drops in the fetal heart rate. There are three basic types of decelerations: early decelerations, late decelerations, and variable decelerations. Early decelerations are generally normal and not concerning. Late and variable decelerations can sometimes be a sign the baby isn't doing well.

When the baby who has died during labour and birth is born, this is called a stillbirth. If a baby is born alive, but dies in the first 4 weeks of life, this is called a neonatal death.
