The U.S. House approved a bill Wednesday that would make more funding available for stillbirth prevention throughout the country. The Central Iowa education and advocacy group Healthy Birth Day said in a news release that stillbirth, which is the result of about 1 in every 175 pregnancies, is far more common than deaths from SIDS and that as many as 25% of stillbirths might be preventable. The Maternal and Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act would specify that state health departments should use federal Title V grant funding on stillbirth prevention programs. U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson was one of the House leaders on the bill. The U.S. Senate approved an earlier version of the bill; it will have to pass it again before it goes to President Joe Biden. The May 28 Fearless will include more coverage of this development and its backstory with Healthy Birth Day, the creator of the Count the Kicks stillbirth prevention program and mobile app.
