Stillbirth

Mon ,10/08/2009

I’ve read an article form the newspaper few days ago about “stillbirth”, where the developing infants dies suddenly in the womb. The cause of stillbirth still unknown. The symptoms of stillbirth are the infants suddenly no movement, hardly to grow and bleeding from vagina.

They interviewing a Singaporean couple who have experienced stillbirth. The pregnant mother went to work like usual, and because of the busy work she didn’t notice that the infant was not kicking for that day. She happened to have routine check up the next day and found out that the baby was gone in her 36th weeks of pregnancy. His neck entangled by the umbilical cord.

The mother regretted so much for not being observative enough. The normal baby should have kick at least 10 times a day. If the mother realized it earlier, doctor might be able to save the baby through the C-section.

What a sad story here…I would like to share with you all..don’t ever do the same mistake..
