“…Studies in low-, middle-and high-income countries have linked low socioeconomic status and stillbirth [21,22], particularly antepartum and intrapartum stillbirth occurring at term [18,21]. A low socioeconomic status may lead to stillbirth via several pathways, including poor access to prenatal and/or intrapartum obstetric care; lack of education about, and poor recognition of, danger signs to seek care; behaviors during pregnancy that increase the risk of stillbirth (smoking, heavy physical labor, poor hygiene); increased risk for maternal infections; increased maternal morbidity; poor living conditions and associated psychosocial stress; and malnutrition (stunting, wasting, and anemia).…”
