Intrauterine fetal death: symptoms, causes and emotional support

-

Intrauterine fetal death, also called fetal death, is the death of the fetus before its expulsion or extraction at birth and, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is independent of the duration of pregnancy.

In spite of this, in general, antepartum fetal death is considered when it occurs after the 20th week of gestation. In addition, late fetal death is also discussed if it occurs after week 28.

After being born, the dead fetus is called a stillborn or cross fetus.

Below you have an index with all the points that we will discuss in this article.

Causes

There are many causes that can explain the death of the fetus in utero, although they are difficult to determine.

The origins of fetal death can be maternal, fetal or related to the placenta. In some cases, it will be possible to prevent them beforehand and act in time to prevent the death of the baby.





Fetal causes

It is possible that some alterations in the fetus during pregnancy are responsible for the death of it:

  • Intrauterine Growth Retarded (CIR): the fetus does not grow at the right pace and are smaller.
  • Genetic and chromosomal alterations.
  • Congenital malformations.
  • Alterations in amniotic fluid: oligohydramnios and polyhydramnios.
  • Multiple pregnancy: circulatory imbalance for the benefit of one baby and injury to the other.
  • Premature rupture of membranes.
