Six babies are stillborn every day in Australia and one of the major issues associated with many of these tragedies is reduced foetal movement during pregnancy. As a result, Stillbirth Foundation Australia has teamed up with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC)’s Open Innovation Platform to encourage researchers to develop a tool to monitor foetal movements. The Foundation is urging innovators, […]

There is evidence to suggest that maternal ethnicity is a risk factor for stillbirth, although the reasons for this are unclear. A better understanding of the increased risk amongst women born overseas would be expected to not only improve outcomes for those women in the future but may also identify mechanisms of stillbirth that might […]

In the days before a late term stillbirth occurs, a baby’s movements inside the womb may decrease. However, pregnant women and their families currently receive inadequate information about the importance of their baby’s movements as an indicator of their baby’s health, and may delay reporting decreased fetal movement to their doctor or care providers. This […]

Current theories indicate that late term stillbirth may be caused by an aging placenta that is no longer working properly. We know that when a placenta gets to this stage, it releases little biochemical markers which end up in the mother’s bloodstream. This project brings together experts in the placenta, aging and obstetric care of […]
