Question 4.67 - How many stillborn children had you had on or before July 31, 2000?

Consider as a stillborn child one resulting from a pregnancy of seven (7) months or longer who, after separation from the mother's body, showed no signs of life, such as breathing, heartbeat, pulsing of the umbilical cord, etc.

Do not include fetal deaths (abortions, miscarriages, etc.) occurred to fetuses with less than seven (7) months of pregnancy, that is, 28 weeks.

Note that a child born alive but which died during the first hours of life should be recorded as born alive.

Record by sex the number of stillborn children had on or before July 31, 2000.

If the stillborn children were all of the same sex, record 0 (zero) in the field corresponding to the other sex.

Record the total number only when the person does not know the sex of at least one of the stillborn children, and leave the fields referring to sex blank.

Mark None when the person had not had any stillborn children on or before July 31, 2000.
