Some people consider them members of the family. I have both and I do. I wouldn’t dream of putting them in medical notes and leaving them out of my children!
Documenting miscarriage or stillbirth is not useful medical information unless you can document the cause. If you can document the cause then that is good to put in medical notes. However, they still belong in the children for that family. As far as writing “boy” or “girl” that is not necessary because you check the box anyway. Carol _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hugh Busey Sent: Saturday, November 03, 2007 11:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Unnamed stillborns It has seemed to me that the primary purpose for documenting a stillborn birth (or a miscarriage for that matter), is to pass on potentially useful medical information. Therefore, I have used the Medical Notes in both parents' files that allow as much cause-of-death detail as needed without having to use confusing abbreviations.

They are obviously separate persons, having different birth dates. For twins, you might want to use "Infant Boy Twin" etc. BTW how do you know about the stillborn children, is this from family knowledge or do some countries register these births?
