stillbirth It is important to distinguish between a stillbirth and other words that describe the unintentional end of a pregnancy. A pregnancy that ends before the twentieth week is called a miscarriage rather than a stillbirth, even though the death of the fetus is a common cause of miscarriage. After the twentieth week, the unintended end of a pregnancy is called a stillbirth if the infant is dead at birth and premature delivery if it is born alive.

A similar procedure after the fetus could potentially survive outside the womb is known as a  late termination of pregnancy .

What causes stillbirth? Some babies die in the uterus (womb) before they are born (called an intra-uterine fetal death). It can happen during the last half of pregnancy or, more rarely, during the labour and birth, when it is known as intrapartum death. 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. In South Australia, these deaths happen in less than 1 per cent of babies.
