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.
