Question

What causes a still born to happen?

Answer 1

Still borns can also happen when the baby has medical issues of it's own. It isn't always about the mother and often it's not known what causes one baby to die in the uterus when another one doesn't.

there's many unknowns when it comes to pregnancy and births. It's rarely anyone's fault. It's nearly impossible to know which baby might live and die before birth. I've known a few mothers who did everything right and it still happened to them. It's easy to take on the blame as well, but one shouldn't. To often people who don't have a clue quickly jump to a conclusion that the mother did something wrong during pregnancy and it's rarely true.  

Answer 2

don't think there is a one answer for that. Alot of things can cause it.  

Answer 3

stillbirth, meaning "quiet birth", occurs when a fetus which has died in the uterus or during labor or delivery exits a woman's body. The term is often used in distinction to live birth or miscarriage. Most stillbirths occur in full term pregnancies.

Some sources reserve the term "stillbirth" for a fetus which has died after reaching mid-second trimester to full term gestational age. For example, in the United Kingdom, "stillbirth" is used to describe an infant delivered without life after 24 weeks gestation. The sources that use this definition tend to use the term "miscarriage" if the death occurs earlier in development. In contrast, other sources use the term "stillbirth" regardless of the stage of fetal development.

The causes of a large percentage of human stillbirths remain unknown, even in cases where extensive testing and autopsy have been performed. The term used to describe these is sudden antenatal death syndrome or SADS. In cases where the cause is known, some possibilities of the cause of death are:

bacterial infection

birth defects

chromosomal aberrations

growth retardation

Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy

maternal diabetes

high blood pressure, including preeclampsia

maternal consumption of nicotine, alcohol, recreational drugs (excluding cannabis[1]), or pharmaceutical drugs contraindicated in pregnancy

postdate pregnancy

placental abruption

physical trauma

radiation poisoning

Rh disease

umbilical cord accidents
