if you lose your baby when you are 7 mnths pregnet do they give you a death certificte?

Answer 1

Yes... I will try to explain. When you have a child they give you a certificate of a live birth (birth certificate) and and when it is still born they give you one for a non-living birth.(death)My daughter lost a baby at Christmas and she was 5 months.she delivered him, we named him and had him cremated and they gave her one.The hospital even asked if we wanted an autopsy and brought the baby in to the room, he was dressed wrapped in a blanket so we could say our good-byes.the funeral home gave her some papers too along with the ashes.hope this helped

Answer 2

They are right, it may depend on what state you live in, but more importantly, was the child born alive? If the baby took even one breath or had a heart rate at delivery, then yes, there would be a birth AND death certificate.
If the baby died before being delivered, then no, no death certificate is issued, because the baby was not born alive. (Therefore could not be issued, because life outside the womb did not take place.)
At seven months along, a certificate of "Fetal Death" or a "Stillbirth Certificate" should be issued.
While a fetal death or stillbirth certificate may not necessarily have a location for a name for the baby, that does not mean that the family cannot give the child a name, have a funeral, services,burial or cremation.
Even though the govenment of that state may not recognize this as the loss of a person, per se, any family who has been through such a thing will agree - the pain is real. The grief is real. The loss is real - not just of the child, but the loss of all that could have been, but will not be, because of a life not lived to fulfillment.
If you, a friend or family member have experienced this, my sympathy is sent.
Loss of a child, born too early or not born alive is one of the most ignored losses a family can experience, because in the view of most - the child did not live - therefore, there is nothing to grieve.
How terribly, horribly wrong they are.

Answer 3

Depends on the state and country you're in. Some countries, the status of a legal person only happens when the baby borne and delivered through the birth channel, but in some the legal person is constituted once the baby's heart beat. This is a legal question, as if the person (i.e. the baby) hasn't got the legal person status, you do not then have the dead certificate as the person hasn't got the status of a person yet. This is also true that if you don't register you child as a person (i.e. birth certificate) you should not have the dead certificate as well.
Am I making sense?
In short, if the territory you are in support the legal status of a child once the heart beats, and you have register your child as a legal person; i.e. a birth certificate is issued once the legal status is accepted, then you should be entitled to receive a dead certificate once that person is dead.

Answer 4

It may depend on the different states, but I'd say they should give you one. You still delievered it, and even if you didn't name the baby and get a ss#, it's still a person.

Answer 5

i think it depends where you live and what the laws are because i know people that had this happen even earlier and the child was named, issued a birth/death certificate, and had full funerals.

Answer 6

The answer may in fact be specific to state laws. Contact a morturary and ask.

Answer 7

I am not sure, ask a county official, but you should be able to bury the baby if you want.

Answer 8

I'm almost sure they don't, because the baby does not have birth certificate, name and etc.

Answer 9

Yes my daughter went through that a few years ago.

Answer 10

I think so, because you actually have to deliver the baby.
