Stillbirth Support Group
This community is dedicated to those who have been impacted by a stillbirth. A stillbirth occurs when a fetus which has died in the uterus, during labor, or during delivery exits a woman's body. For help and support, share your experiences and learn how others coped. Don't forget that you are not alone.
We need your help! This is a tremendous opportunity to help in the effort to learn more about stillbirth. If you have ever had a stillbirth OR if you are 28 weeks or more pregnant or have had a living baby in the last three weeks - please consider participating in this study. It is so important! Read below and go to www.starlegacyfoundation.org to participate in this very important study.
======================================================
The Star Legacy Foundation announces the launch of a confidential online research study designed to collect information from stillbirth mothers and those who delivered living children to identify differences in their prenatal experiences and observations. It is hoped this information can be used to identify stillbirth risk factors and direct future stillbirth prevention research.
The death of an unborn child is a devastating event which occurs over 26,000 times a year in the US and over 4.5 million times each year around the world. Approximately half of these deaths are after 28 weeks gestation (late stillbirth). In most high-resource countries, the rate of stillbirth has not decreased in recent years and very little research is being conducted to identify the risk factors associated with stillbirth in order to develop prevention strategies.
While acknowledging the pain of any pregnancy loss, this study will focus on late stillbirth (28 weeks or more gestation).
The study is seeking participation by mothers of infants, both stillborn and live-born or soon to be born in this confidential survey. For more information or to participate in the study, go to: www.starlegacyfoundation.org/
The Star Legacy Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Eden Prairie, MN, dedicated to stillbirth research, education and prevention.

Forest42 - thank you so much for taking the time to complete the study survey. We do know that in many cases these sorts of activities take us back to places that are difficult and I do appreciate your willingness to go there for the sake of all the needless tragedies. Until we have more answers we'll never be able to help them survive and thrive and we'll never be able to help other families avoid the pain that a stillbirth inflicts. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. Please share with others and help us get a good response so that the end result will be meaningful and productive information that can lead to prevention strategies.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
