Stillbirth recorded in Parish Register ?

I'm currently examing the German PR - in Nov 1726 appear two consecutive entries
"abbort" of Wm Penny and Robt Lace (the IGI has at least one as Albert !) - the only explanation I have is a stillbirth (1725 was a peak year for deaths so possibly related) however I've never seen any similar entries around this period - has anyone else seen similar ? (btw the transcribed bapt + confirmations are on my CDROM)
