Our 2020 Cause
What is stillbirth?
A stillbirth is the death of a baby after
21 weeks of pregnancy but before or during birth.
Why stillbirths?
Stillbirth is one of the most tragic and harrowing experiences a family can go through. It is linked to severe depression and PTSD years after the experience. It is still a taboo topic in many societies. Oftentimes, mothers are blamed for failing to deliver a healthy baby and feel intense social pressure to stay silent, which leads to further depression and isolation. Solving stillbirth issues often lead to triple returns – saving babies, improving maternal health and reducing chronic depression.
