Yes, if you do not have proper medical care. After delivering my stillborn son, the student doctor left my husband & I with our son to mourn, have him baptized & take pictures. Throughout this time my placenta had not been delivered, 5 hours later when my parinatologist showed up I was dehydrated, lethargic, my heartrate was tacky, my eyes were rolling back in my head, my veins had all collapsed & no one could start an IV, infection had set in, I had lost a massive amount of blood. Right there with my husband standing beside me, craddling our son, my doctor & three residents each took turns trying to manually grab the placenta & pull it out, finally in desperation my doctor asked for the D & C tools & did it right there & then without pain meds, without anesthia....I was screaming & writhing in pain. Then required a double blood transfusion! Make sure you have competent medical staff looking after you, and make sure the delivery is COMPLETE! Other than that a stillbirth delivery is the same s a normal delivery in terms of blood loss & healing. I recommend checking out The National Share Office Organization.....they are a support group for parents of loss. www.nationalshareoffice.com
