Not particularly: I would consider it a sign the pregnancy was lost due to poor blood production or supply in the infant. Babies are pink if their blood production keeps up with their growth/need. If it falls behind or some is lost (trapped in the placenta, bleed from placenta, etc. ) the fetus will expire and be pale at delivery. A placenta is designed to steal proper nutrients from mom when her nutrition is poor.
