* Izumi from ''Franchise/FullmetalAlchemist'' gave birth to a stillborn child prior to the series, whom she tried to bring back to life through alchemy. However, as reviving beings is impossible, she ended up [[spoiler:losing her reproductive system]] due to EquivalentExchange. That is why she's an ill girl who frequently coughs up BloodFromTheMouth. In the [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist manga]] and [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemistBrotherhood 2009 anime]], she [[spoiler:ends up mostly healed]] in the end.

** Also in the first book, poor Ovra suffers multiple miscarriages and stillbirths; she doesn't have trouble conceiving but never gives birth to a living child. Everyone is saddened by this and it takes quite a toll on Ovra's health (with Ayla eventually prescribing a contraceptive tea in secret so she doesn't have to go through it anymore).

* Mentioned several times in ''Literature/TheRedTent''. In particular, it happens to Leah, who gives birth prematurely to what would have been Dinah's baby sister. The adult women (who are used to miscarriages and stillbirths) treat it as a normal part of life, but this is Dinah's first real experience with death. They do give the stillborn girl a real burial, however.

* The ''Literature/FamilyTreeSeries'': Abby's mother Nell had two stillborn children after her daughters Abby and Rose: Millicent and Luther, Jr. Her husband Luther planted a rosebush for each of them on the property, but they were less to help her heal and more because he wanted his wife to get over things, get on with life, and get back to keeping house than to actually help her heal. [[spoiler:And even he didn't suggest it; Nell asked for them to remember her babies and he begrudgingly allowed it.]] She never truly recovers from the loss, and when Luther later takes their only surviving son Fred to an institute for being disabled, Nell's mental health shatters. [[spoiler:Leading later to her [[DrivenToSuicide taking her own life]].]]
