Abstract
In 2010, approximately 4110 (1 in 200) babies in the UK were stillborn (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death (SANDS), 2012). Although stillbirth accounts for around 50% of child deaths ( SANDS, 2012 ), it remains an underemphasised aspect of clinical practice ( Kohner and Henley, 2001 ; Mottram, 2004 ; SANDS, 2012 ). Although many women who have a stillbirth will become pregnant again, there appears to be relatively little research into pregnancy following stillbirth, its management, and women and their families' experiences. As previous stillbirth is a risk factor for complications and stillbirth in subsequent pregnancies, as well as having psychological implications, it is vital that care is tailored to meet the holistic requirements of families and to detect deviations from the norm so that appropriate interventions are not delayed.
