Summary
Over 6,500 babies die just before, during, or soon after their birth every year in the UK. More babies die during this period of their early lives than at any other stage of childhood.
The number of stillbirths has not changed in more than a decade. Yet many hundreds of babies’ deaths could be avoided. We want action to save more lives and spare families the desperate heartbreak of losing their precious baby.
