Losing a baby is traumatic for many people, most people don’t know how to cope emotionally or physically when this happens. Babies born prematurely could be referred to as stillborn. Stillbirths occur given that the babies were born at or after 24 weeks of pregnancy.  While stillbirths may not be common, they are not rare.


Stillbirths may occur as a result of many reasons. The baby might have died in the uterus or womb as a result of infection, lifestyle, age, infection, mother’s health and genetic factors.
