The difference between

embryo (fruit(s))

& fetus

From the moment that

you are 11 weeks pregnant,

is the embryo in your belly

9 weeks old

are the organs

largely off.


The first phase

of the pregnancy

is then over.


From the 11th week

in a pregnancy

don't talk to you anymore

of an embryo,

but from a fetus.


From fetus

to

baby

From the moment

that your baby

fetus is called,

will it stay that way

until childbirth.


Only after birth

are you talking about

a baby.

When your child is born

after 24 weeks gestation

Any child who is lifeless

is born

after a gestational age

from 24 weeks

must be declared

at the Civil Registry

of the municipality

where the birth took place.

The Funeral Care Act

from 1991

determines that there

a deed

of a stillborn child

is being made up.

The hospital

issues a statement

showing that the child was born dead.

If the baby after delivery

was still alive

and then died

is included in the declaration both

a birth and death certificate.

It turns out that this

at the Civil Registry

sometimes causes problems,

because officials are not good

be aware of this rule.

If the father feels there emotionally

feel capable,

he can report himself.

Sometimes this is helpful.

Someone else too

who was present at the birth

can file a report;

the hospital can also

or the funeral director

do this for you.

For children who are stillborn after 24 weeks,

there is a statutory burial obligation.

The Civil Registry

gives in writing

a leave of absence

to burial or cremation.

When your child is born

before 24 weeks gestation

The Funeral Care Act

is in this case

does not apply.

There are no rules and

nothing is required or prohibited.

Usually you can when you want

officially declare the child.

As a parent, you can

independent of the duration

of the pregnancy,

enroll your child

in the marriage certificate.

You don't have to do this

to the Civil Registry.

More and more often a child is buried

or cremated

even after a short pregnancy.

The mayor can grant permission for burial

or deliver cremation,

but this is not necessary.

The administrator of

the cemetery or

the crematorium

does have an explanation

need from a doctor

showing

that the child

was born dead

before gestational age

of 24 weeks.
