More stillbirth prevention help in pregnancy

The law adds stillbirth prevention as a core goal of the Maternal and Child Health Block Grant. States and territories can use these funds for evidence-based programs and research to reduce stillbirths. Allowed activities include tracking fetal movement, timing births for high-risk pregnancies, safe sleep advice in pregnancy, screening for growth problems, help to quit smoking, and home visits or similar support. Other proven stillbirth prevention programs and outcome research are also allowed. The change takes effect upon enactment.
