Life Begins...

Miscarriage stories of loss, hope & help. It's always devastating to experience a loss. It can cause you to feel alone, isolated. There's no 'right' way to feel - a range of reactions are possible & normal. In addition to the grief you may feel, your body will be undergoing some profound hormonal adjustments, which may make you feel very emotionally volatile. If you have had a miscarriage, take the time to understand better why these occur & why it is not your fault.

Sudden Death - Stillbirth

Sudden Death - StillbirthThere is a form of sudden death that is shrouded in mystery and sensitivity - stillbirth. This is when the developing infant dies suddenly in the womb. This can sometimes be explained, such as when the foetus chokes after it is entangled in the umbilical cord.

In Singapore, a stillbirth is defined as foetal death after the 28th week of pregnancy but before delivery.

Foetal death in utero (while still in the uterus) before the 28th week is considered a late miscarriage. A full term is typically between 37 and 42 weeks.
