Definitions. Stillbirth: the death of a baby before or during birth after 24 weeks of gestation in the UK. (The World Health Organization (WHO) definition is after 28 weeks.) Neonatal death: the death of a baby within the first 28 days of life.

A newborn infant, or neonate, is a child under 28 days of age. During these first 28 days of life, the child is at highest risk of dying. It is thus crucial that appropriate feeding and care are provided during this period, both to improve the child's chances of survival and to lay the foundations for a healthy life.

In medical contexts, newborn or neonate (from Latin, neonatus, newborn) refers to an infant in the first 28 days after birth; the term applies to premature, full term, and postmature infants; before birth, the term "fetus" is used.

Prognosis. There is no cure or standard treatment for anencephaly and the prognosis for people is death. Most anencephalic fetuses do not survive birth, accounting for 55% of non-aborted cases. Infants that are not stillborn will usually die within a few hours or days after birth from cardiorespiratory arrest.

When a fetus dies in utero, there are changes in the skin and tissues—termed fetal maceration. This process takes place entirely in the womb and stops once the fetus is delivered [10,16]. The phenomenon of maceration was first described in 1922 as loss of the vernix and then skin peeling [20].

Both perinatal and neonatal nurses are involved in the childbirth process. The main difference between the two is that perinatal ("around the birth") nurses take care of pregnant women before, during and just after birth, while neonatal ("newly born") nurses care for newborn infants through the first 28 days of life.

Infant mortality rate (IMR) is the number of deaths per 1,000 live births of children under one year of age. ... This accounts for 40–60% of infant mortality in developing countries. Postneonatal mortality is the death of children aged 29 days to one year.

A fetal heart with no heartbeat at any point is called fetal demise. Before 22-24 weeks, a non-viable pregnancy is when a baby delivered has no chance of survival, even if there is still a heartbeat in the uterus.

If the umbilical cord wraps around the baby's neck, it can become compressed. This not only affects the amount of oxygen that can reach the baby, but it can also cut off blood and nutrient flow for the baby. In some cases, this can result in brain damage. In other, more severe matters, fetal death is a possibility.

Neonatal nurse. Neonatal nurses care for newborn babies who are born premature or sick. A newborn baby can suffer from a range conditions requiring treatment.

Most deaths happen during the first 6 months of a baby's life. Infants born prematurely or with a low birthweight are at greater risk. SIDS also tends to be slightly more common in baby boys.

Life expectancy at birth. Life expectancy at birth is defined as how long, on average, a newborn can expect to live, if current death rates do not change. ... If rates are falling, actual life spans will be higher than life expectancy calculated using current death rates.

In Bangladesh, the main causes of neonatal deaths in 2015 were prematurity (29.7 percent), birth asphyxia and trauma (22.9 percent) and sepsis (19.9 percent).

During pregnancy, the unborn baby (fetus) depends on its mother for nourishment and oxygen. Since the fetus doesn't breathe air, his or her blood circulates differently than it does after birth: The placenta is the organ that develops and implants in the mother's womb (uterus) during pregnancy.

Anencephaly is not compatible with life. Most babies with anencephaly are stillborn or die within days or hours of birth. The exact cause of anencephaly is unknown, but it is likely the result of an interaction among several genetic and environmental factors.

The difference between the birth rate and the death rate of a country or place is called the natural increase. The natural increase is calculated by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate. The rate of natural increase is given as a percentage, calculated by dividing the natural increase by 10.
