The procedure for a stillbirth removal is an abortion. Often in the third trimester.
Isn't that the third point?
Trigger warning. You don’t need to read this if you’ve lost a baby.
Miscarriage care is often associated with a fetus that could not survive outside the womb, has encountered issues (from birth defects to bodily stresses), and is now being expelled. The biggest risk is bleeding out. If you’ve ever seen a hemorrhaging post partum woman it is quite dramatic. If standing, it can be a like a tap turned on and is creating a large puddle of frank blood at the woman’s feet. Supplying blood to a fetus is dangerous for a mother when the connection is severed, even in normal childbirth. Miscarriage care ensures that once the dead fetus is removed, by natural means or the abortion procedure, the bleeding stops.
It’s important to know that the D&C procedure is used for all manner of gynecological reasons, many of which don’t even involve pregnancy. Polyp removal. Biopsy. Etc. A miscarriage D&C may not even be removing the dead fetus, that may have already occurred, but the D&C is done to ensure all dead tissue bits are washed out in addition to making sure the bleeding has stopped.
Stillbirth is typically associated with a third trimester fetus/baby that can possibly survive outside the womb. Except it unexpectedly dies in utero instead. These are large bodies, not like the standard miscarriage where tissue sized between a rice grain and a baby carrot is expelled. This time, the corpse will remain, decomposing in utero, until an abortion is performed. The biggest danger here is sepsis, or full system infection causing mass organ failure, due to this corpse presence. It’s why that teen girl in Texas died when no one would help her with stillbirth removal, aka, an abortion.
It’s important to spell out stillbirth since there are still major misconceptions voiced regarding third trimester abortion stats.
thanks for the clarification
I think that's correct, but when I read it my mind went to when it happens much earlier, so I think it bears specifying.
