Best Answer

It depends on the gestational age of the fetus. If the fetus is 27 weeks or later an emergency delivery of the baby can be done to try and save it. A baby could survive earlier than 27 weeks. With each week survival rates increase. Otherwise, the fetus will die along with the mother because her body is what is keeping the fetus alive.

I think the answer to this question would be fairly obvious but seeing as you asked I thought I would answer, If the mother of a baby still in the womb dies, then the unborn baby will unfortunately also die, if the baby is far enough along to survive outside the womb and the death of the mother is witnessed then doctors MIGHT be able to save the unborn child if they are able to move it before the baby is too deprived of oxygen.

Her baby dies with her unless she is in a place where they can hook her up to machines and keep the heartbeat to beat. This is done sometimes but the baby still have to be delivered early because the mother have infections etc due to the unnatural circumstances. It also depends on the fetus health and how far along she is and what her family thinks. Otherwise if she is past 24 weeks they can deliver it if she is at the hospital when she dies. Otherwise the baby will die with her.

Nothing necessarily happens to the mother. Just a lot of grief and she also has to get the dead baby out of her uterus or she could get an infection.
