Too many pregnancies are ending in tragedy
2006
Overview
New NHS figures show that last year there were a total of 46 stillbirths in the Lothians and 292 across Scotland. It is thought that around a third of all stillbirths happen after 37 weeks of pregnancy. Prof [Jim Dornan] said the majority of unexpected stillbirths were because the baby was unable to grow and develop properly in the womb. Other causes include an abnormality in the supply of blood to the foetus or a lack of water around the baby in the womb. Prof Dornan said that in the 1960s and 70s labour was commonly induced in women whose babies were not born on the date they were expected. However, that resulted in high numbers of Caesarean sections and doctors now believe that it is healthier for the child to be born naturally.
