Summary

National Stillbirth Prevention and Awareness Day would designate September 19, 2025 as a day to raise awareness, promote evidence-based prevention, expand research, improve data collection, and support families affected by stillbirth. The measure notes more than 21,000 U.S. pregnancies end in stillbirth each year, highlights higher risk for Black, American Indian and Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, and Hispanic families, cites the Maternal and Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act of 2024 as opening federal resources, and would call on the President to issue a proclamation.
