Small-Weight Babies and Stillborns: A Connection?

A Swedish study has found that women who give birth to small-weight babies face a greater likelihood that they will have stillborns following their next pregnancy.

The study lends credence to the view that there is a connection between stillborns and low-weight fetuses.

However, because so little can be done about many fetal growth problems, it is doubted that this new insight will affect current obstetrical practices.
