Healing Prayers Against Stillbirth
A stillbirth is the death of a fetus in the uterus after week 20 of pregnancy. The reasons go unexplained for 1 in 3 cases. The rest may be caused by problems with the placenta or umbilical cord, high blood pressure, infections, birth defects, or lifestyle choices.
A stillbirth is when a fetus dies after the mother’s 20th week of pregnancy. The fetus may have died in the uterus weeks or hours before labor. Rarely, the fetus may die during labor. Although prenatal care has drastically improved over the years, the reality is stillbirths still happen and often go unexplained.
A stillbirth is classified as either an early stillbirth, a late stillbirth, or a term stillbirth. Those types are determined by the number of weeks of pregnancy:
- Early stillbirth: The fetus dies between 20 and 27 weeks.
- Late stillbirth: The fetus dies between 28 and 36 weeks.
- Term stillbirth: The fetus dies the 37th week or after.
CAUSES OF STILL BIRTH

Problems with the placenta and/or the umbilical cord. Your placenta is an organ that lines your uterus when you’re pregnant. Through it and the umbilical cord, the fetus gets blood, oxygen and nutrients. Any problems with your placenta or umbilical cord and the fetus will not develop properly.
Preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is high blood pressure and swelling that often happens late in pregnancy. If you have preeclampsia, you have twice the risk of placental abruption or stillbirth.
Lupus. A person who has lupus is at risk of having a stillbirth.
Clotting disorders. A person with a blood clotting disorder like hemophilia is at a high risk.
The pregnant person’s medical conditions. Other illnesses can sometimes cause stillbirths. The list includes diabetes, heart disease, thyroid disease, or a viral or bacterial infection.
Lifestyle. If your lifestyle includes drinking, using recreational drugs and/or smoking, you’re more likely to have a stillbirth.
Birth defects. One or more birth defects cause about 25% of stillbirths. Birth defects are rarely discovered without a thorough examination of the fetus, including an autopsy.
Infection. An infection between week 24 and week 27 can cause fetal death. Usually, it’s a bacterial infection that travels from your vagina to your uterus. Some include rubella, the flu, herpes, Lyme disease and malaria, among others. Some infections go unnoticed until there are serious complications.
Trauma. Trauma such as a car crash can result in a stillbirth.
PREVENTION OF STILLBIRTH.
Usually, a stillbirth can’t be prevented. It often occurs because the fetus wasn’t developing normally. Generally, improving your health, including managing preexisting conditions and lifestyle choices, increases your chances of a successful pregnancy. You’re also less likely to have a stillbirth if, when you know you’re high-risk, you’re carefully monitored through routine ultrasounds and/or fetal heart rate monitoring. If your healthcare provider finds a problem, they can have your baby delivered early if necessary.
The reason why a stillbirth happens isn’t always understood, it is difficult to prevent. However, there are some steps you can take to increase your chances of having a healthy baby:
Avoid recreational drugs, smoking and drinking alcohol.
Contact your healthcare provider if there’s any bleeding during the second half of your pregnancy.
Do what’s called a daily “kick count.” Around 26-28 weeks, familiarize yourself with fetal movements. Figure out what’s normal for the fetus. Then, if they stop acting normally, contact your healthcare provider.
Before you get pregnant, work toward a weight that’s healthy for you. If you’re already pregnant, talk with your healthcare provider about diet and exercise options.
Protect yourself against infections.
Avoid certain foods including some types of fish and some types of cheese. Also, double-check to make sure that any meat or poultry you eat is thoroughly cooked.
Report any stomach pain, itching, or vaginal bleeding immediately.
Sleep on your side, not your back. If you’ve been pregnant for 28 weeks or more, sleeping on your back can double the risk of stillbirth. It’s not completely clear why that makes a difference, but experts suspect that it has something to do with the flow of blood and oxygen to the fetus.
Get routine tests, including your blood pressure and urine. These will help your healthcare provider see if there are any illnesses or conditions that may affect the health of your baby.
There’s no sure way to prevent mental illness. However, if you have a mental illness, taking steps to control stress, to increase your resilience and to boost low self-esteem may help keep your symptoms under control. Follow these steps:
Pay attention to warning signs. Work with your doctor or therapist to learn what might trigger your symptoms. Make a plan so that you know what to do if symptoms return. Contact your doctor or therapist if you notice any changes in symptoms or how you feel. Consider involving family members or friends to watch for warning signs.
- Get routine medical care. Don’t neglect checkups or skip visits to your primary care provider, especially if you aren’t feeling well. You may have a new health problem that needs to be treated, or you may be experiencing side effects of medication.
- Get help when you need it. Mental health conditions can be harder to treat if you wait until symptoms get bad. Long-term maintenance treatment also may help prevent a relapse of symptoms.
- Take good care of yourself. Sufficient sleep, healthy eating and regular physical activity are important. Try to maintain a regular schedule. Talk to your primary care provider if you have trouble sleeping or if you have questions about diet and physical activity
