I’m signing because I have suffered pregnancy loss, and so have a few dear friends of mine, and we deserve to be recognised.

Stacey MacMillan-White (Brisbane , 2020-10-13)

I have experienced 2 losses myself and feel that every woman out there should have their children’s lives recognised. I also think it is important to spread awareness on this issue as so many people out there don’t release the extent of pregnancy loss

I too have gone through the trauma of losing a very special member of our family. Our darling angel was born too soon and despite fighting to stay with us lost her battle. The hardest thing I have had to face was watching our family go through the loss of our precious great granddaughter.

I don't have any living babies

Because we deserve the right to have the world share our pain and know how incredibly blessed they are, if they do not experience this pain.

Shari-Lei McLean (Sydney, 2020-10-13)

Signing in memory of beautiful baby Blair.

I too list my baby.

We have experienced loss in our family.

SANDY OAKLEY (TAMWORTH, 2020-10-13)

I have so many loved ones who have dealt with the heavy weight this type of loss holds. And I personally couldn't comprehend how it would feel and forever impact their lives until I carried my own child. A national day to remember would do a lot to recognise the huge impact it has on families.

Makareta Livingston (BRADDON (ACT), 2020-10-13)

I struggle with accepting even after 2yrs that my baby girl was stillborn. Having a day that recognises infant, stillborn, misscarriage etc makes it much more accepted in a world still struggling to talk about these things publicly.

Stacie Grant (Perth, 2020-10-14)

#452

In the name of my two beautiful granddaughter who were born sleeping Sienna-Jade & Willow 💕

Leann Centis (Innisfail , 2020-10-14)

#453

This is very important to me, and would help mothers and fathers like me express the love we have for our babies that did not stay.

Chloe Aylward (Sydney, 2020-10-14)

#456

Because babies born sleeping should have a voice to.

Samantha Herbert (Townsville, 2020-10-14)

For beautiful Blair Bisset born still x

Alex Magee (Canberra, 2020-10-14)

#459

I am signing this petition because I have lost two babies in the past year. I have had to deal with this in silence with no support. Women should never have to deal with a death by themselves.

Lauren Wright (Perth, 2020-10-14)

#461

I have lost my baby and this is a subject close to my heart ♥️

Tina Pont (Maryborough , 2020-10-14)

Our grand-daughter was still born.

Andrew Midgley (Devonport, 2020-10-14)

#466

Too long has the loss of a baby been a taboo subject. Many parents feel they need to suffer in silence. Why should they? They babies lost deserve to be remembered and spoken about. Please give them a remembrance day

Karen Reedman (Mount Chalmers, 2020-10-14)

#467

We need to acknowledge the little lives lost and also their parents.

Nicole Rooke (Melbourne , 2020-10-14)

It’s the right thing to do

Kacee McNally (Liverpool, 2020-10-14)

I'm signing because i lost one of my twin girls at birth and would love a day to recognise and spread the word of pregnancy and infant loss to others

Karley Suffolk (Sydney, 2020-10-14)

I’m signing because I have a baby son in heaven and he has had a dramatic impact on the course of my life and it deserves recognition .

Jacquelyn Carpenter (Mallabula, 2020-10-14)

#475

The most difficult thing I have ever experienced - I’m shocked there is so much taboo and lack of education about how to support those effected .. having a nationally registered day would be a good start.

Jo Elise (Melbourne , 2020-10-14)

#477

Because of my darling granddaughter Blair Ann Bissett

Shelley Wilson (Newstead, 2020-10-14)

#487

I have a close friend who has had her whole life turned upside down due to a stillbirth. She deserves to have a special day to share with others and remember all the angels who never had their chance to shine.

Barbara Tam (Bluewater, 2020-10-14)

#489

I love this idea. Makes my son's life meaningful. I have no photos. A grave that I can't visit and has now been vandalised. This would be a pleasant way of remembering these little lives lost.

Anne Elsner (Lesmurdie WA., 2020-10-14)

#491

The greatest loss a person can go through is the loss of their child. This deserves a National day of remembrance.

Kate Lewis (BRANYAN, 2020-10-14)

Many family and friends would benefit from this day

Nicole Johnson (Canberra, 2020-10-14)

Debbie Sutton (bundaberg south, 2020-10-14)

#496

I am signing due to my need to have this day recognized, as a mother, a daughter, a sister. I have seen women loose children, I have seen the lasting affect it has on fathers, on the childrenthat have lived and never known their brothers or sister, I urge the Australian Government to honour their people in recognizing this day as part of healing.

Laura Barnard (Rockhampton, 2020-10-14)

#499

I have seen and experienced how much parents suffer after pregnancy loss. Worse, most do it in silence as there still seems to be a stigma around pregnancy loss. We should publicly acknowledge the loss, support the parents, and speak about their babes

Toni Doyle (Cobar, 2020-10-14)

My Family member lost her twins

Paul Lawler (Melbourne , 2020-10-14)

I experienced the loss of multiple pregnancies. Due to a lack of awareness I was forced back to work the next day and was never able to take time to grieve or be supported.

Katrina Jensen (Sarina Beach, 2020-10-14)

#528

There is not enough public awareness on this issue. Most people don’t discuss or don’t know about it. Let’s not live in the shadows any longer and break the silence on child loss and grief.

Elissa Heather (Sydney , 2020-10-14)

#529

I lot my first baby at 38 weeks. This is an issue very close to my heart.

And for 15 years there is not a day that has gone by that he has not been my thoughts.

So many people I know whether family or friends have been through losing a pregnancy or having to deliver their stillbirth. How heartbreaking for any parents to go through :(

This needs to be recognised as an International Remembrance day.
