If you suspect that you have an autoimmune disease, the most important steps to stopping and reversing your disease and symptoms are to identify and then to treat the underlying cause. Conventional doctors only treat the symptoms of autoimmune diseases; they don't look to find the root cause. Often, they prescribe medications such as anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids, or immunosuppressants.
What is stillbirth? When a baby dies in utero at 20 weeks of pregnancy or later, it's called a stillbirth. (When a pregnancy is lost before 20 weeks, it's called a miscarriage.) About 1 in 160 pregnancies ends in stillbirth in the United States. Most stillbirths happen before labor begins, but a small number occur during labor and delivery.
Definitions of stillbirth (and thus stillbirth rates) vary in different countries, based on gestational age. In the United States, stillbirth (defined as fetal death at >20 weeksâ gestation) affects about 1 in 160 pregnancies (6-7 per 1,000 births). The rate is similar in most high-income countries (3-5 per 1,000 births), but is considerably higher (20-100 per 1,000 births) in low- and middle-income countries .
