What the petition asks
In 2016 There were 3,430 stillbirths throughout the year in the UK. still births are when the baby dies after 20 weeks. Could this figure be reduced if there was to be an extra scan that takes place at 26 weeks during pregnancy. In 2016 there were 9 stillbirths a day. That is 9 too many.
