Stillbirth is typically defined as fetal death at or after 20 or 28 weeks of pregnancy, depending on the source.[1][2]: Overview tab, [8] It results in a baby born without signs of life.[9] A stillbirth can often result in the feeling of guilt or grief in the mother.[10] The term is in contrast to miscarriage, which is an early pregnancy loss,[11] and sudden infant death syndrome, where the baby dies a short time after being born alive.[10]

Often the cause is unknown.[1][12] Causes may include pregnancy complications such as pre-eclampsia and birth complications, problems with the placenta or umbilical cord, birth defects, infections such as malaria and syphilis, and poor health in the mother.[2]: Causes tab, [3][13] Risk factors include a mother's age over 35, smoking, drug use, use of assisted reproductive technology, and first pregnancy.[4] Stillbirth may be suspected when no fetal movement is felt.[5] Confirmation is by ultrasound.[5]

Worldwide prevention of most stillbirths is possible with improved health systems.[2]: Overview tab, [14] Around half of stillbirths occur during childbirth, with this being more common in the developing than developed world.[2]: Info panel,  Otherwise, depending on how far along the pregnancy is, medications may be used to start labor or a type of surgery known as dilation and evacuation may be carried out.[6] Following a stillbirth, women are at higher risk of another one; however, most subsequent pregnancies do not have similar problems.[15] Depression, financial loss, and family breakdown are known complications.[14]

Worldwide in 2021, there were an estimated 1.9 million stillbirths that occurred after 28 weeks of pregnancy (about 1 for every 72 births).[16] More than three-quarters of estimated stillbirths in 2021 occurred in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, with 47% of the global total in sub-Saharan Africa and 32% in South Asia.[17] Stillbirth rates have declined, though more slowly since the 2000s.[18] According to UNICEF, the total number of stillbirths declined by 35%, from 2.9 million in 2000 to 1.9 million in 2021.[16] It is estimated that if the stillbirth rate for each country stays at the 2021 level, 17,5 million babies will be stillborn by 2030.[16]
