AB Intrauterine  fetal  demise  (IUFD)  refers  to  fetal  death  prior  to  delivery  and  may  occur  at  any  time  prior  to  delivery.  Determining  the  timing  of  the  IUFD  is  important  both  for  counseling  the  parents  and  for  anticipating  the  likelihood  of  successful  neonatal  resuscitation  after  delivery.  The  appearance  of  the  fetus  at  delivery  can  be  used  to  estimate  whether  the  fetal  demise  occurred  antepartum  or  peripartum.
