A member asked:

If you have a stillbirth, do you do it vaginally or by c-section?

Vaginally: A stillbirth is so heartbreaking for the parents. It is difficult to make decisions under this circumstances. However, it would be beneficial to your future childbearing if you delivered vaginally and avoided surgery which could impact on future pregnancies.
