The only thing I can think of is that if the baby puts any pressure on the umbilical cord or has it wrapped tightly around any limbs to the point where it cuts off oxygen to it for a long enough period of time, the baby can die..
I'm really sorry for your loss..

OMG....I am so sorry. This scares me in the worst way possible. I am just about 36 weeks pregnant. I can't even begin to imagine what you, your wife and family are going through. It is very hard to know why a baby becomes a stillbirth, and still is unknown. I wish that we had the same kind of things at home as they do in hospitals and ultrasound labs, so we could check on our baby's at home, everyday, whenever we wanted to. Just to make sure the baby is okay. I wish that pregnancy came with manuals, there are so many questions and concerns that doctors just pass off as normal. I wish they knew everything, more so I wish that we as parents knew everything when it came to pregnancy. I feel like its a race to get to the due date, I feel like there are far too many days in a pregnancy for something to go wrong that we can not prevent. I feel like in the last weeks of pregnancy, they should do more to monitor the baby. I realize that is is an inconvinence to be going into hospitals and doctor's offices everyday in the last 4 weeks and not to mention the cost, if living in the States. I live in Canada, so Health care is something that I don't pay for up front. But I think that if we knew exactly how our baby's were doing, and not determine just by fetal movement, then maybe a lot of baby's could be saved. I think that it is incredibly unfair that family's have to go through this kind of heartbreak. I wish that no one would have to experience this kind of loss, especially at 37 weeks. The nursery is done, baby shopping has become a regular thing, names have been picked out, the day dreaming never stops, baby showers are being hosted, talking about the baby and feeling the baby have become a daily occurance. I can't fathom losing a baby that late in pregnancy. It seems really cruel, and unkind. Losing a baby at any stage would be impossible to deal with, but if it was going to happen, I would want it to happen before I even knew about the baby. That is it. Not after,especially not in my 37th week. Again, I deeply sympathize.
The doctors owe you an explanation as to why your child passed away. They need to do an autopsy and that way you have some kind of closure.

Firstly, I am very sorry for your loss. I know that both of you need a great deal of support right now as you will feel the loss differently. I hope you can get some counseling to help you through this most difficult time.
Was there an autopsy done? If so, request the results of the autopsy or request to speak with the coroner who performed the autopsy. You could also ask you doctor directly about it.
If he can't help you or doesn't know, he might be able to point you in the right direction for answers.
My prayers are with you both. God Bless you.

I'm so sorry for you loss. These thing sometimes happen unfortunately. I've had 2 miscarriages but they were at 9 and 10 weeks. That was very hard for me to deal with so I can't imagine the pain that you are both going through. Just be there for eachother and you'll get through this. Good luck for the future xxx

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what you two are going through. My cousin lost her baby at 8 months. The umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. Only God knows exactly why it happened. Have you asked the doctor what he thought happened? If not, you may want to. Again, I am sorry for your loss. May God give you both the strength and courage to get through this difficult time. You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry. I know someone this happened to 2 months ago, at 37 weeks as well. I can't even imagine the pain and sorrow this must cause. In my friends case a blood vessel in the brain had burst.

Unfortunately and very sadly, it can happen. The doctor should have explained what happened in your case with you.
This happened to a woman my sister knows, at about the same point. Very sad.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
You can always talk to your doctor further about it, and perhaps seek out some grief counselling.

I would make sure you have an autopsy to rule out genetic causes or defect of the umbilicus.
I hope you help each other through this.

If the doctor doesn't know, how would we know? You can ask for an autopsy to find out if there was a birth defect or placental defect involved. Sorry for your loss, but in many cases, they don't know.
