Death of a baby during delivery is the death of a child during its birth. Some deaths during delivery are considered stillbirths, often when they're considered unpreventable or not caused by external factors, other deaths during childbirth may be regarded as accidents, negligent or homicide.

Statistics
The Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society states that "Around 500 babies die every year because of a trauma or event during birth that was not anticipated or well managed. Some babies are stillborn and some die after birth. Many of these deaths, when they occur at term, could be avoided with better care."

In medical settings
In July 2023 another case of decapitation (this time with the baby in normal position) resulted in a medical examiner ruling the event as a homicide in February 2024.
