You are not alone.
In 2009 there were 28,000 babies delivered stillborn.
On average 71 babies are stillborn every day in the United States.
1 out of every 116 pregnancies is delivered stillborn.
Almost 50 percent of these deaths occur at or near full term and often seem to be otherwise healthy babies. The majority of stillbirths, 85 percent, occur before delivery.
In many states today there are no certificates of birth for stillbirths.
It is estimated that nearly two-thirds of all stillbirth deaths remain unexplained.
The average funeral cost is between $6,000 and $10,000
The foundation hopes to bring awareness to the subject of stillbirth. It is a true tragedy but families deserve to know that it is a risk that doesn’t discriminate between age, race, cultural, and class lines.
