I am signing this form as I am 1 in 4 and this is not a taboo subject we should be recognized just like everyone else

Im signing because I have lost a child and pregnancy and infant loss is just as important as mothers and fathers day.

Natasha Peach (Mackay, 2020-10-12)

I an signing this as we lost our son, Joel at 6 weeks of age after he was born at 25 weeks gestation. He lives for 6 weeks in the NICU. This need to be talked about more and recognised as it is such a taboo subject that many people do not want to talk about it or even listen to people who have been through a loss

As a mother of a stillborn baby girl and 4 miscarriages I want all families and their babies who have gone through the same loss to be officially recognised.

I had a miscarriage at 10wks with my second much longed for pregnancy.

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Australia helped me not feel alone when I had my miscarriage. Having an officially recognised day for pregnancy and infant loss would help support families who have been through loss by showing them that they are not alone and help in developing a society in which loss isn't seen as a taboo subject to talk about.

After losing 7 babies they need to be recognised

Alysha Charlton (Smythesdale, 2020-10-12)

Having had 3 early stage miscarriages I think recognising the impact of pregnancy and infant loss is important to break down the stigma, shame and burden bereaved parents carry.

At least two generations of my family have been affected by the loss of children, through both Miscarriage and Stillbirth. My mother and father suffered not only the loss of their own child, but also the loss of their grandchild - our son. The national support for families and people affected by pregnancy and infant loss needs to be improved, and Australia needs to recognise the strain on families, mental health and remove the social stigma associated with miscarriage and stillbirth. Let's bring the conversation into the open.

Letitia Dann (FERNY HILLS, 2020-10-12)

I’m 1 in 4 and lost my baby in a early miscarriage between 5/6
I went threw hell and bleed for 2 months
This should be recognised the silence needs to be broken
This subject should be taboo for so women that are going threw it alone feel comfortable about speaking out
I am 1 of a long line of women on both sides of my family that have had a miscarriage and I refuse to closet fine so if anyone else goes threw one they no there not alone and no i will sit and listen

Jessie Sassine (Sydney , 2020-10-12)

Lesley Ann O'Connell (Maroochydore , 2020-10-12)

#34

I’m singing this because I had 3 miscarriages. Even though it was an early miscarriage it still hurts. No matter how early the miscarriage was, it’s a little human growing inside. A baby that you wanted for so long and with a blink of an eye no heartbeat. There life’s matter!!

Teresa Martinez (Bourbonnais , 2020-10-12)

#36

I lost my baby at 13 weeks.. my best friend lost her baby at 16 weeks.. they are 2 babies who were very much loved and wanted and deserve to be acknowledge along with many others

It is important for families who have experienced miscarriage and/or stillbirth to be able to have a day to recognise their child and what they have lost. I know this will help me in my grief

#105

Every October I try to raise awareness through fundraising and social media post for pregnancy and infant loss support. I lost my daughter at 20 weeks gestation and it surprised me how many women go about their daily lives carrying the weight of child loss on their shoulders. The loss community already recognises October the 15th as International pregnancy and infant loss remembrance day so the government should too!

I’m signing this petition because I am 1 in 4
I have lost a newborn baby two weeks before I was due to have her I miss her terribly every single day and I believe that 15 October should be recognised as International Pregnancy and Infant loss Remembrance Day as this is A real Taboo conversation and Our babies lives matter they are still human stillborn but still born.
This would be amazing to have this day recognised for not just my daughter but every other baby gone too soon.

2 of my closest friends have experienced stillbirth, and i am soon to be a midwife. Pregnancy and infant loss happens far too often and it needs to be recognised and addressed. These babies need us to be their advocates.
