I think this is probably the best answer so far.

deprimita_patro: Family history would be another factor. If you or your wife have living mothers or grandmothers it might be worth asking them if they've ever suffered stillbirths. If the total is large then edge that 1/40 estimate up a little. If it's zero you might be able to edge it down a little.

Sorry for your loss.
