What is Stillbirth?

Stillbirth is the death of a baby at 20 weeks gestation or more. There are 6 babies stillborn each day in Australia, affecting 1 Australian family every 4 hours.

In some cases stillbirth is preventable. Research shows that around 20-30% of late stillbirths could be avoided with timely, evidence-based care and intervention. Evidence-based research shows that targeted strategies such as monitoring movements, sleeping on your side and feeling confident to advocate for your baby when something does not feel right can significantly reduce the risk of late stillbirth. Families and maternity care providers need access to trusted, evidence-based education and information to recognise critical warning signs, seek care early, and advocate for their baby's safety.
