Obstetric stillbirth is the death of a fetus before or during delivery after a defined point in pregnancy, commonly after 20 weeks of gestation, resulting in the birth of an infant with no signs of life. It is a serious adverse outcome in obstetrics with profound emotional consequences for families. Stillbirth can arise from causes including placental dysfunction, congenital anomalies, infections, hypertensive disorders, and complications during labor, and reducing its occurrence is a central goal of maternal and perinatal care through improved antenatal monitoring, risk assessment, and skilled delivery. Within Women's Reproductive Health, research addresses the obstetric conditions and care practices that influence maternal and fetal outcomes, including training in life support for obstetric emergencies, the management of high-risk conditions such as placenta previa, and the outcomes of cesarean delivery. Strengthening obstetric skills and managing complications are important components of efforts to prevent fetal loss and protect maternal health. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to obstetric stillbirth and Women's Reproductive Health, offering an evidence-based resource for readers interested in pregnancy complications, perinatal outcomes, and the obstetric care that supports safer deliveries.
