Message National Stillbirth Prevention and Awareness Day Toolkit For Advocates & Supporters September 19, 2025 National Stillbirth Prevention & Awareness Day The United States Senate and House of Representatives introduced a resolution declaring Sept. 19 as National Stillbirth Prevention Day. It is a way to honor the tens of thousands of American families who lose a baby to stillbirth every year and resolve to do all it can to prevent the tragedy of stillbirth from happening to more families. The following elected officials were the leaders of this resolution in 2024: ● Senator Jeff Merkley (D-Oregon) ● Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) ● Senator Cory Booker (D-New Jersey) ● Representative Alma Adams (D-North Carolina) ● Representative Ashley Hinson (R-Iowa) Social Media Handles Healthy Birth Day Count the Kicks FB: @healthybirthday FB: @countthekicks IG: @healthybirthdayinc IG: @countthekicksus X: @Healthy_Birth X: @CounttheKicksUS YouTube: @healthybirthdayinc YouTube: @CountTheKicks Elevate the Conversation and Raise Awareness Caption: Sept. 19 is National Stillbirth Prevention & Awareness Day - a day to honor the babies gone too soon, support the families who carry their memory, and raise awareness about the steps we can take to prevent future loss. Stillbirth affects 1 in 175 pregnancies in the U.S. That’s 21,000 babies born still each year. We know that 25% of those are preventable, which is why awareness is so important. Let’s keep talking, keep advocating, and keep saying their names to help improve birth outcomes for future families. #StillbirthPreventionDay #StillbirthPreventionAndAwarenessDay #CountTheKicks Find Graphics in our Canva Template
