Women can be reassured that falling pregnant six months to a year after a stillbirth does not increase the risk of a subsequent stillbirth or preterm delivery, researchers say.

The first, large-scale observational study on interpregnancy intervals examined 14,000 birth records between 1980 and 2016 from women in WA, Finland and Norway.
