Why is the stillbirth rate remaining so high?2nd May 2007
A new report by the Confidential Enquiry into Maternal and Child Health (CEMACH) has found that ten babies are stillborn every day in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Just over one in 200 pregnancies ends in a stillbirth and this figure has remained unchanged since the early 1990s.

Jenni talks to Dr Jo Modder, Clinical Director of Obstetrics and at CEMACH, and Sue Hale from the charity SANDS - the Stillbirth and neo-natal death society - to discuss why stillbirth rates have remained at a persistently high and what are the major risk factors.
