Stillbirth
Stillbirth is often defined as fetal death after 20 weeks of gestation, but a fetus greater than any combination of 16, 20, 22, 24, or 28 weeks gestational age and 350g, 400g, 500g, or 1000g birth weight may be considered stillborn depending on local law. Once the fetus has died, the mother may or may not have contractions and undergo childbirth or in some cases, a Caesarean section. Most stillbirths occur in full-term pregnancies. The cause is often unknown.
In the U.S., the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002 specifies that any breathing, heartbeat, pulsating umbilical cord, or confirmed voluntary muscle movement indicate live birth rather than stillbirth.
The term is often used in distinction to live birth (the baby was born alive, even if it died shortly thereafter) or miscarriage (early pregnancy loss). The word miscarriage is often used incorrectly to describe stillbirths.
Causes
The causes of a large percentage of human stillbirths remain unknown, even in cases where extensive testing and autopsy have been performed. A rarely used term to describe these is "sudden antenatal death syndrome" or SADS, a phrase coined by Cacciatore & Collins in 2000. Many stillbirths occur at full term to apparently healthy mothers, and a postmortem evaluation reveals a cause of death in only about 40% of autopsied cases.
Stillborn (album)
Stillborn is the third full length studio album by Florida death metal band Malevolent Creation. It was released in 1993 on Roadrunner Records.
Track listing
Personnel
Stillborn (song)
"Stillborn" is a song from the Black Label Society album The Blessed Hellride. The song was also released as a single. Wylde's own vocal style also became quite similar to Ozzy Osbourne's for this record, while Osbourne was featured in the song on chorus singing with Zakk the lines, "The feelings I once felt are now Dead and gone. I've waited here for you for so very long."
"Stillborn" tells the story of a man whose girlfriend treats him so poorly and takes so much advantage of him that his love for her dies, leaving him feeling dead as well. Wylde insists that it is not autobiographical and that if any girl were to treat him like that, he would simply break up with her.
The video was directed by Rob Zombie, featuring his signature style of blue lighting, zombies, and a regular female cameo, Rob Zombie's wife Sheri Moon Zombie. The idea came together while touring together on Ozzfest.
Wylde has performed an acoustic version of "Stillborn" that is not only longer but also features a much different sound, following an acoustic solo throughout much of song.

Stillborn
by: Malevolent CreationMy thoughts my mind's trapped behind.
An inescapable wall of depression.
Try to face it one to one, eye to eye.
Accepting no lies.
Cannot break my boundaries.
Forever held in a grasp of despair.
My thoughts all die.
Before they are born.
Expression of my mind suffers.
Tormented under mental chains.
Only alive to serve others.
Caring nothing of my own pain.
Stillborn.
Stillborn, reeling of my mind.
Fighting everything.
No hope of ever being heard.
To set it free.
Just live to suffer.
Trapped inside these fleshened walls.
So many live, how many perish?
Will never achieve it's goal.
Stillborn.
I am dead before I am alive.
Open wide and be force fed.
Pitiful way of existence.
What they instill into your head.
Insight silenced before it escapes.
Left to rot in hell.
Blinded by falsified hope.
Succumb to your mental shell.
