I choose to talk about my experience because #stillbirth cannot be tiptoed around or whispered about as “unimaginable.” Babies are #stillborn at alarming rates worldwide. It is a public health crisis. Parents are grieving and traumatized. #IamISA #EndStillbirths #HopefulFutures
“I first learned about stillbirth at the time that I had one”

@dramybowers.bsky.social - a psychologist and bereaved mother - shares how denial and silence surround #stillbirth.

She’s breaking the #stigma.

🆕report published today by @who.int showed that, despite a global decline in #maternal deaths, 260,000 women died in 2023 from complications in #pregnancy or #childbirth.

Most maternal and newborn deaths are preventable. Women and babies need to be at the centre of research, policy and action.
