This video shows Fetal demise in early pregnancy.
Fetal demise in the womb is confirmed by an ultrasound scan. Ultrasound is able to show if your baby's heart has stopped beating. Sometimes, after it has been confirmed that there is fetal demise, a pregnant mother may still feel as if the baby is moving.
In the case of fetal demise, a dead fetus that has been in the uterus for 4 weeks can cause changes in the body's clotting system. These changes can put a woman at a much higher chance of significant bleeding if she waits for a long time after the fetal demise to deliver the pregnancy.
The term 'early fetal death' refers to conditions in which the fetus is no longer alive, but the uterus has not yet started to expel its contents. A variety of terms were previously used to describe this condition, including 'blighted ovum', 'missed abortion' and 'silent miscarriage'
Miscarriage is a word used to describe the early loss of a pregnancy before 20 weeks of pregnancy. It usually happens in the first trimester. Unfortunately, between 10 and 15 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage.
There are three hypothetical causes of Fetal demise in the t‐trimester.
1). Parvovirus fetal infection, primary viral infection of the myocardial cells initially causes myocarditis, leading to hydropic cardiac failure and demise.
2). Bone marrow transient aplastic crisis occurs as the primum movens for anemia, leading to the sequence of congestive heart failure/hydrops/death.
3) Placentitis without fetal infection causes placental dysfunction and ultimately fetal demise.

IUGR has various causes. The most common cause is a problem in the placenta (the tissue that carries food and blood to the baby). Birth defects and genetic disorders can cause IUGR. If the mother has an infection, high blood pressure, is smoking, or drinking too much alcohol or abusing drugs, her baby might have IUGR.
Women who retain the dead embryo/fetus can experience severe blood loss or develop an infection of the womb. These are rare complications.
Some babies die in the uterus (womb) before they are born (called intrauterine fetal death). It can happen during the last half of pregnancy or, more rarely, during the labor and birth, when it is known as intrapartum death. When the baby who has died during labor and birth is born, this is called a stillbirth.
