Relative risk is the risk of something happening to you in comparison to somebody else.
How do you measure stillbirth rates? Actual stillbirth rates vs. So what is the risk of stillbirth as you go past your due date? What factors can increase the risk of stillbirth? Also, small for gestational age babies are often growth restricted at the week ultrasound. So, the gestational age for these babies is often under-estimated. This means that babies who are small for gestational age may be more post-term than we realize they are—increasing their risk while also leaving us unaware of their true gestational age Morken et al.
The traditional way of calculating the estimated due date 40 weeks after the last menstrual period is not evidence-based. This is more accurate than using the last menstrual period because it no longer assumes a Day 14 ovulation. An ultrasound before 20 weeks is usually more accurate than using the last menstrual period, and the accuracy of an ultrasound is highest if it is done between 11 and 14 weeks. Changes to the estimated due date in late pregnancy should only be made in rare circumstances.
Some individuals, such as first-time mothers, are at higher risk for experiencing stillbirth in late pregnancy than other individuals. Committee opinion no.
