Do not fill this in! === Stillbirth === {{Main|Stillbirth}} Stillbirth can happen right before or after the delivery of a fetus. It can result from [[Birth defect|defects]] of the fetus or [[risk factor]]s present in the mother. Reductions of these factors, [[caesarean section]]s when risks are present, and early detection of birth defects have lowered the rate of stillbirth. However, 1% of births in the United States end in a stillbirth.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Goldenberg |first1=Rl |last2=Kirby |first2=R |last3=Culhane |first3=Jf |date=2004-08-01 |title=Stillbirth: a review |url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/jmf.16.2.79.94 |journal=The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine |language=en |volume=16 |issue=2 |pages=79β94 |doi=10.1080/jmf.16.2.79.94 |s2cid=218875617 |issn=1476-7058}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
