UNDERSTANDING THE CAUSES OF CESAREAN SECTIONS AND HOW TO REDUCE YOUR RISK When it comes to childbirth, every mother hopes for a smooth, natural delivery.

The medical cost of having a baby in the US in 1956 was $107.55, about $1,242 today with inflation, and 12% of babies died in childbirth. Today it costs $18,865 and 6% of babies die in childbirth. The cost in Turkey is $2,500 and 7% of babies die in childbirth. The cost in Germany is $2,500 and 0.3% of babies die in childbirth.

Preparation is essential for a confident and positive birth experience. At Every Birth Network, we emphasize the importance of attending childbirth education classes, practicing relaxation and breathing techniques, and discussing a detailed birth plan with your healthcare provider. Creating a strong support system, packing essentials ahead of time, and being mentally prepared for potential changes can help expectant parents navigate the birth process with confidence. Thorough preparation empowers families to make informed decisions and embrace the birth journey. #EveryBirthNetwork #BirthPreparation #MaternalHealth #EmpoweredBirth

There are 3 big myths that it’s long past time to bust around #stillbirth. **Myth #1 - Stillbirth went away in the Victorian era.** Truth: Stillbirth claims more children's lives (age 0-14) each year than prematurity, SIDS, car accidents, drowning, guns, fire, flu, poison, and listeria COMBINED. **Myth #2 - Stillbirth is rare.** Truth: It is not. There are over 20,000 stillbirths on average each year in the US, or approximately 65 deaths per day. That’s the equivalent of 3 kindergarten classes, every single day. **Myth #3 - Stillbirth isn’t preventable.** Truth: In many cases, it is. At least 25% of US stillbirths are preventable, using today's technology and practices. If we matched our best international peers, we could be preventing up to 75% (!!) of US stillbirths. Enough is enough. It's time to #endpreventablestillbirth.

Every Life Matters: Bringing Awareness to Stillbirth Stillbirth affects about 1 in 175 births, touching the lives of thousands of families every year. Each year, around 21,000 babies are stillborn in the United States—comparable to the number of infants who die during their first year of life. This staggering statistic highlights the urgent need for awareness, research, and support for affected families. While these numbers can feel overwhelming, they represent more than just data—they reflect heartbreak, silence, and unanswered questions for too many. By increasing awareness, supporting research, and providing resources, we can bring hope and healing to families who have experienced such a profound loss. Let’s break the silence and make a difference together. Share this message, support stillbirth awareness organizations, and advocate for policies that prioritize maternal and infant health. Every voice matters. Every life matters. Join us in honoring the babies who are gone too soon and supporting the families who carry their memory forward. #stillbirthawareness #babyloss #pregnancyloss #infantloss #pregnancylosssupport
