Is the stillbirth due to chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus?

Patient's question:

I have a normal menstrual cycle, but the baby died in my belly after being pregnant for six or seven months. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

Getting pregnant is a self-disqualification process. The common reasons for fetal demise in utero may be chromosomal abnormalities. I don't know how you did the prenatal screening before, but I suggest sending the fetus at delivery for a thorough chromosomal examination.
2. Cord factors: Some fetuses have particularly thin umbilical cords, or a segment of the cord is compressed, or the cord is wrapped around the neck and tightened, or there is a thrombus in the cord.
3. Placental abruption or vascular rupture leading to excessive blood loss in the fetus.
For the current situation, it is recommended to deliver the fetus as soon as possible and then undergo reexamination. Before the next pregnancy, it is advised that both partners undergo a thorough chromosomal examination.
