Medical
In most cases of intrauterine death, the mother will go into labor
within two weeks of the baby's death. If the mother does not go into
labor, the doctor will bring on (induce) labor in order to prevent
the risk of hemorrhage. Labor is usually induced by giving the
mother a drug (oxytocin) that cause the uterus to contract.
Follow-up therapy
Emotional support from family and friends, self-help groups, and
counseling by a mental health professional can help bereaved parents
cope with their loss. |
