OUR IMPACT

THE FIRST US STILLBIRTH ORG FOUNDED ON PRINCIPLES OF ANTIRACISM.

In just a few years, we've made significant progress in addressing major flaws in the US healthcare system to end preventable stillbirth.

HOW WE WORK.

Only big, bold, innovative action will create the change we want to see. We focus our efforts in 3 areas that can have the greatest impact:

We arm parents, providers, and policymakers with the evidence-based knowledge they need to reduce preventable stillbirth.

EDUCATION

Altered fetal movement (AFM)

The importance of detecting, reporting, and taking action at the first sign of change in fetal movement.

Fetal growth restriction (FGR)

How to screen for early onset fetal growth restriction and the importance of digital blood pressure measurement.

Measuring placenta size

How to identify complications, and ensure necessary medical actions are taken to protect the baby.

Enhanced risk stratification

The importance of assessing and categorizing risk level to enable healthcare providers to offer personalized care and interventions.

Third trimester ultrasounds

Protocols for regular third trimester ultrasounds that allow for early detection of potential issues.

We demand change on a national scale through comprehensive stillbirth prevention policy updates in the following areas.

ADVOCACY

Improved Data Collection

Robust data collection mandates will enable researchers to identify patterns and risk factors to further develop prevention tools.

Research Advancements

With more government funding we can accelerate our collective knowledge of preventable stillbirth.

Fighting Systemic Racism

Centering diverse voices and addressing systemic racism is crucial for reducing higher stillbirth rates among marginalized communities.

Structured Protocols

Implementing structured protocols ensures consistent, effective care that can prevent stillbirths as proven by other countries.

Enhanced Post-Loss Care

Stillbirth families deserve more comprehensive support services to help navigate life after loss, especially PAL.

We empower the community with essential tools and resources to prevent stillbirths and provide support in the aftermath of loss.

COMMUNITY

Launch public awareness campaigns to educate the community about stillbirth risks and prevention methods.

Healthcare Provider Training

Accredited training for healthcare providers and birth workers on best practices for stillbirth prevention and patient care.

Community Resources

Educate and empower families and healthcare providers to prevent stillbirths.

Perinatal Loss Support

Resources for families coping with the emotional and physical impacts of perinatal loss.

Research Funding

Fund initiatives to discover new methods and strategies for preventing stillbirth.

Peer Support

Facilitate peer support networks for bereaved families to provide a safe space for healing through collective action.
