Intranatal (aka intrapartum) death actually occurs during labor. The child dies while mother is in labor.


There is also antenatal death, which refers to a fetus dying before labor.


Fetal morality or stillbirths usually deals with those fetuses that die after 5 months.


Hopefully this helped and good luck!!
