Summary

This study aims to find factors that can be changed to prevent stillbirths between 20 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. Researchers will compare 316 mothers who experienced an early stillbirth with 632 mothers with healthy pregnancies, using questionnaires about sleep, diet, and care. The goal is to identify modifiable risks and improve pregnancy guidelines.
