Why do still births happen ?
In: 3
There are over 70 ways a baby can die.
Sometimes its a genetic condition, infection within the uterus, cord accidents (true knots, nuchal cord) Sometimes (like myself) it’s a physical anomaly with the mother, uterine or placental abruption.
Sometimes there’s no reason. Just unlucky. My OB said it’s a miracle babies are born at all considering all the horrible things that can happen.
Fortunately, modern medicine and proper, good and compassionate prenatal care have reduced the incidence of these tragedies to the barest minimum possible, but they still happen even with the best of the best of care 🙁
