A term used in medical and bereavement contexts to refer to the death of a baby at or shortly after birth. It encompasses both stillbirth and early neonatal death.
Support for families who have experienced a stillbirth or neonatal death is important.
新生児死亡 is a clinical term for neonatal death (death within the first 28 days of life). 誕生死 is a more compassionate, less clinical term that encompasses both stillbirth and early neonatal loss.
Compound of 誕生 (birth) and 死 (death). The term was coined to describe the experience of giving birth to a baby who has already died or dies shortly after birth, emphasizing that the baby was born and existed, even if only briefly.
