What is that?

For the first time yesterday, 

I met someone who didn't know what a stillborn was. 

I had even explained, I lost my son at 38 weeks, which I thought was pretty self explanatory, but I guess it wasn't. 

I knew what a stillborn was at the age of 18 from working at a vet clinic. 

Pregnant cat and dogs that have puppies or kittens that dont make it are also called still borns, however ultrasounds aren't done so you can't usually tell till they are born. 

I can honestly say I was never told my entire pregnancy to look out for anything abnormal. I had a completely normal pregnancy minus the excessive vomiting, so no one was overly concerned. 

I know that they discuss miscarriages on a regular basis. 

So when I asked why stillbirth  isnt part of "pregnancy education" it's been said it's not discussed as to not frighten the mother.

I would rather know what to do or look out for then be completely blindsided like I was. 

I think all complications no matter what they are should be discussed.
