What Causes Stillbirth Despite Normal Position Of Foetus?
My daughter in law age 31, didn't feel any movement of her baby for 2 days. she was in her 8th month. She felt contractions and went to the hospital where they discovered the baby had no heartbeat. They induced labor and the baby was stillborn. The baby was in the right position to be born and the imb. cord was not involved in it's death. What are the reasons this could hapen to an otherwise healthy baby?
