Understanding Late Foetal Loss

The NHS defines a stillbirth as a situation when a baby is born dead after 24 completed weeks of pregnancy. Any loss prior to this time is known as a miscarriage or late foetal loss. This tragic event happens to many families, and support and resources are available for those affected.
