Stillbirth rates remain unchanged for 20 years — and data delays are hurting families, experts say
We are so proud to be able to shine a light on the rates of stillbirth in Australia. There is so much work to be done. Raising awareness and empowering women and their partners in trusting their instincts and monitoring babies movements are paramount to decreasing the alarming stillbirth statistic in this country.
We would like to thank Megan and Darren Macolino for bravely sharing their story about their beautiful baby, Avery. They are just one of the many very real faces behind the tragic statistic of 6 babies born still every day in Australia.
Big thanks to Bethanie Alderson and the ABC News for taking this on and highlighting stillbirth and Still Aware to the country.
