WHY PUSH?

For expectant parents, stillbirth education and patient-centered prenatal care can be the difference between life and fetal death.

OVER 20,000 PREGNANCIES IN THE US END IN STILLBIRTH EACH YEAR.

WHY PUSH?

For expectant parents, stillbirth education and patient-centered prenatal care can be the difference between life and fetal death.

Including healthy, low-risk ones. That's 15x higher than the number of babies who die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and exceeds all other leading causes of infant death combined.

1 IN 4 OF THESE STILLBIRTHS CAN BE PREVENTED.

Due to systemic failures at the federal and local levels, the US ranks 48th out of 49 high-income countries in reducing preventable stillbirth.

BLACK WOMEN ARE TWICE AS LIKELY AS WHITE WOMEN TO EXPERIENCE STILLBIRTH.
