What Are Still Birth Claims?

Still birth refers to the loss of a baby before birth, typically after the 20th week of pregnancy although there are varying time lines. In some cases, stillbirths can occur due to natural causes or medical complications beyond anyone's control. However, there are instances where stillbirths may result from medical negligence, inadequate prenatal care, or avoidable factors which include;

  • Complications with placenta
  • Bleeding (haemorrhage) during or before labour.
  • Pre-eclampsia – causing high blood pressure in the mother
  • Ambilocal cord problems
  • Genetic physical defect in the baby
  • Pre-existing diabetes
  • Infection in the mother that affects the child
  • Failure to provide oxygen to a baby deprived of air during birth
  • Inadequate monitoring of the baby during labour
  • Errors made wile performing a caesarean section
