I spent the day on my own visiting the crematorium where our son Marley, who was stillborn 11 months before Birgül died, was cremated.
Photos on the blog show a pained-looking, and clearly pregnant, Xiao sitting on a hospital bed after the injection but before the baby was stillborn 40 hours later.
Results: Of 34 fetuses operated on at midgestation (days 70 through 80), 11 died in utero or were stillborn, 8 had gastroschisis and amnioinfusion, 8 had gastroschisis and no amnioinfusion, and 7 had gastroschisis and esophageal ligation.
Context: He had a twin brother, delivered stillborn 35 minutes before him.
Therefore, full-term stillbirths were included as births in this study to make the data comparable to those earlier standards, but this probably had little effect on the estimates of natality because fewer than 2% of pups born at Chiswell Island were stillborn [28].
Moreover, mothers with one of the following discharge diagnoses were excluded: 656.4 (intrauterine death), V27.1 (single stillborn), V27.4 (twins, both stillborn), and V27.7 (multiple birth, all stillborn).
Each year in Uganda there are an estimated 35,000 newborn deaths (1), with an additional 40,000 babies stillborn (2).
In our data set, more than half of cloned pigs were stillborn (23.6%) or died soon after birth (31.4%).
Pup mortality during the period from birth to registration, including stillborn pups was 24.0%: 101 pups (6.1%) were stillborn, 17 pups (1.0%) died in the neonatal period, and 257 pups (15.6%) were euthanised.
Children born to mothers with ID were more often stillborn (1.2 vs. 0.3%) or died perinatally (1.8 vs. 0.4%) than children born to mothers without ID.
