The Mississippi State Department of Health marked Stillbirth Prevention Day on September 19 by urging awareness of stillbirth, prenatal care and changes during pregnancy.
The department advised expectant parents to learn their baby’s normal movement patterns and contact their health care provider if they notice a change or have concerns. It directed families to EveryBabyFirst.com for more information.
