Huge numbers of stillborn babies 'may have been missed'

Hundreds of thousands of deaths a year are not being recognised in international estimates, research suggests

Hundreds of thousands of babies who died in the womb could have been missed out of international estimates on stillbirths, research suggests.

According to figures for 2015, an estimated 2.6 million babies a year worldwide are stillborn - dying at a point in pregnancy when most babies would survive outside the womb.
