What is Stillbirth?

A stillbirth is the loss of a pregnancy after 20 weeks and before birth. Stillbirth is different from miscarriage, with families facing unique decisions and experiences surrounding labor, delivery, and saying goodbye. Understanding that distinction is an important part of recognizing and supporting the medical, emotional and bereavement care needs for grieving families.
