Influenza virus, exacerbation of sexual infection, other serious health problems of a pregnant woman in some cases can cause fetal death. Noticeably less often the stagnant pregnancy on 25th week or in other term in the second trimester can be caused by hormonal disturbances, after all after 12 weeks for development of a fetus the placenta which is capable to develop a necessary level of hormones answers. In any case, it is only the doctor who can fully determine the cause of the death of a pregnant woman after a comprehensive analysis. Sometimes the reason remains unclear.
