Abstract

A spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) is the natural termination of pregnancy before the fetus is capable of extrauterine life (Scott, 1986). Spontaneous abortions can be divided into two groups: early abortions, up to 12 weeks of age, and late abortions 13–18 weeks of age (Ornoy et al., 1981). There are different terms for fetuses who die later in pregnancy. Early still-birth is considered to be between the 20ieth and 24th week of pregnancy. Stillborn infants are all infants who die from the 25th week of pregnancy onwards.
