Women's experiences of stillbirth in Somaliland: A phenomenological description.

Background: Low- and middle-income countries in Africa have the highest rates of stillbirths in the world today: as such, the stories of the grief of these women who have had a stillbirth in these settings need to be told and the silence on stillbirth needs to be broken. In an attempt to fill this gap, the aim of this study was to describe the experiences of Muslim Somali mothers who have lost their babies at birth.

Method: Qualitative interviews with ten Somali women one to six months after they experienced a stillbirth.
