A regular birth certificate is also sometimes formally referred to as a "certificate of live birth."

Fourteen states allow certificates of stillbirths. Some other states give death certificates for a child born dead.

Most people believe that life begins at conception; not birth. Therefore, life can die before birth. Legally, 14 states issue death certificates for still births & the others have still death certificates. The death of a fetus before 20 wks is called a miscarriage & after is a still birth.

It was delivered, thus born. It was "born dead" or stillborn. This relates to either vaginal delivery or Cesarean Section.

Doctors would not issue a death certificate.
But the child is quite definitely alive as it grows in the womb, it can hear and see and suck its thumb, even play a game of foot poking with mum!
