• Description:
  The risk for experiencing a fetal loss differs by both maternal and fetal characteristics. In this report, data for two maternal factors, education and use of prenatal care, are presented. Fetal mortality for 1990 varied by the educational attainment of women, with higher rates for those with less education. Fetal mortality rates were high for women who received no prenatal care during pregnancy compared with women who received some prenatal care.
