Use of the term arises in cases where the foetus has been injured or killed during birth, either as a result of Sturzgeburt or through ill-treatment following delivery. The term is also used to describe any birth that occurs almost immediately after the onset of labour, with few contractions. primafacie5(Latin) prima facie is a Latin expression meaning at first sight, on the face of it. In English it may be used as an adjective meaning obvious, not requiring proof.
