Infographic describing stillbirth as the death of a fetus about halfway through pregnancy. Risk factors include obesity, tobacco, multiple gestation, advanced maternal age, and health conditions. Ways to decrease risk involve prenatal care, blood pressure monitoring, and weight optimization.
#Stillbirth involves the death of a fetus about halfway through pregnancy or later or with a birth weight of at least 350 g.
📄 This JAMA Patient Page describes the causes, risk factors, and methods for evaluating stillbirth before and after it occurs.

Stillbirth researcher Oghome Emembo highlights a stark reality: in Nigeria, a stillbirth occurs every 16 seconds.
Preventing these losses requires stronger maternal health services, better policies, and better data systems.

For those who may be interested, the eventual introduction of the 1994 Stillbirth Act means that if you experienced a #stillbirth in #Ireland before 1995, you are still able to retrospectively register your baby's birth. #ReproHist #HistMed #MedHums #HistMidwifery #ReproductiveLoss #Miscarriage

Parent advocate Nonkululeko Shibula speaks about the silence surrounding #stillbirth in many cultures.
Her message: stillbirth is not a curse and it is not a shame. Every baby deserves to be remembered.

As if death doesn't happen on maternity wards. A traumatic shock to parents, it shouldn't be to anyone working on labour & delivery wards.
I will never be free of these horrific memories that should never have happened.

I hope there will be special bereavement rooms for families suffering a stillbirth, as well as training for staff entering those sacred spaces. I will never forget random people swanning into our room without knowing our son had died. Inflicts even more preventable harm.

Today is #RareDiseaseDay. My son Frankie was born sleeping on 29 Nov 2013 with Chromosome 15 Duplication Syndrome - so rare it has no proper name.
He existed.
He mattered.
He is the reason I do everything I do.

After losing her daughter Lottie, doctor & mother @sianreece.bsky.social learned how invisible #stillbirth is in global data. “What we fail to count, we fail to change.”
We must make every family visible – in data, in systems & in care.

“The paper’s findings are particularly relevant in the wake of a growing concern around criminalizing pregnancy loss following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to eliminate a constitutional right to abortion.”

New paper 🌟✨
We found that some placentas age too early in stillbirth - linked to circular RNAs, DNA damage, and cell stress.
Crucially, these signals can show up early in pregnancy, in blood.
Small molecules, big clues!

Will the maternity ward have a bereavement suite?
I contacted St Pauls leadership about this after our son was stillborn.

#Stillbirth - Survival Protocol
German brutality at its absolute peak – blastbeats, caveman grooves, and yes… actual cowbells. Only Stillbirth can turn farm equipment into a weapon of sonic destruction. 🇩🇪🐄🔔🔥
Picked up an old journal & was reminded that after my baby was stillborn someone wrote in my medical notes "patient coping well, patient not tearful". Wow. They really believed that.
Everyone on the maternity ward was as crazy & unprepared for a baby to die that day as I was.
