Confirmation is by ultrasound.Worldwide prevention of most stillbirths is possible with improved health systems.: Overview tab,  Around half of stillbirths occur during childbirth, with this being more common in the developing than developed world.: Info panel,  Otherwise, depending on how far along the pregnancy is, medications may be used to start labor or a type of surgery known as dilation and evacuation may be carried out.
