Understanding Stillbirth Risk
What is Stillbirth?
Stillbirth is defined as the death of a baby before or during delivery after 20 weeks of pregnancy. It affects approximately 1 in 160 pregnancies in the United States.
Risk vs. Reality
- •Most pregnancies result in healthy babies, even with risk factors
- •Risk factors increase probability but don't guarantee outcomes
- •Many stillbirths occur without identifiable risk factors
- •Regular prenatal care can help detect and manage complications
How This Calculator Works
