Tonight at 7 p.m. we will be lighting candles in honor of all babies gone too soon. 🕯️
We encourage you to join our virtual International Wave of Light, take a photo of your candle, and post it to Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram using #WaveOfLight at 7 p.m. local time.
We had the privilege of welcoming three of the five founders of Healthy Birth Day, Inc. to our headquarters for a morning of storytelling and reflection!
According to the @CDCgov, Black women are two times as likely as White women to experience stillbirth.
The CDC report notes that these differences persisted from 2023 to 2024, with no significant change in the rates for these major groups.

Healthy Birth Day, Inc. attended Stillbirth Symposium 2026: Closing the Gaps over the past few days in Utah!
Thank you to @@UofUMedicine for hosting these sessions with parents, researchers, and clinicians.
Stillbirth isn’t rare. La’Zette’s family is just one of the nearly 20,000 families in the United States who are impacted by stillbirth each year.
Share this video to help spread awareness, which leads to prevention.
How can we better understand the causes of stillbirth? How can we improve care? How can we give families better answers and more tools to prevent loss?
Asking better questions leads to better research, better care, and, ultimately, better outcomes for moms and babies.
At the center of all of this data are thousands upon thousands of heartbroken families who are left with a lifetime of what-ifs.
Let’s prevent more families from wondering ‘what if?’ Start a conversation about stillbirth.
Our work doesn’t end when National Stillbirth Prevention & Awareness Day does. 💙
In honor of the tens of thousands of babies gone too soon, help us continue the work to prevent future loss.

Behind every stillbirth is a baby, a family, and a story that matters. This Stillbirth Awareness Day, we honor the babies lost and the families who love them.
CDC is continuing to work to better understand why stillbirth happens and what can be done to prevent it. We also provide information and resources to support families navigating a loss. #StillbirthPreventionDay

Thank you @Healthy_Birth for allowing me to speak at your Congressional briefing and join advocates for the advocacy on stillbirth awareness and the #SHINEforAutumnact.

Getting my Maternal and Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act signed into law was a major step forward, but there is so much more work to do to end the tragedy of stillbirth.
I’m proud to work alongside @Healthy_Birth & families who have turned unimaginable loss and pain into action. Their stories are what keep this work moving forward - and why I reintroduced a bipartisan resolution this week recognizing September 19th as National Stillbirth Prevention and Awareness Day.
We’ve made real progress, but I won’t stop fighting to prevent stillbirth, support moms and babies, and ensure more families get to bring their babies home.
