Introduction. Stillbirth is the delivery of a baby showing no signs of life at or beyond a given gestational age threshold, or threshold of birthweight. 1 The thresholds employed vary internationally but in the UK, stillbirth requires delivery at or after 24 weeks of gestation. Using this threshold, the absolute risk of stillbirth in the UK is approximately 1 in 200.
