Stillbirths and Neonatal Deaths
Background
A stillbirth is a baby who dies before or during birth, after twenty-four weeks of pregnancy. Around ten babies are stillborn every day in the UK, leaving four thousand families bereaved every year.
A neonatal death is a baby who was born alive at any gestation but died in the first month of life. Six such babies die every day in the UK.
The death of a baby is a catastrophic event and impacts upon all family members and friends. This can cause great isolation unless there are lines of communication to overcome it. Many difficult and painful feelings are experienced at such a time. Each baby is precious and irreplaceable and will always be part of the lives of those who love them.
