This is an important issue and deserves so much more recognition.

I have had two miscarriages, and two grandchildren were stillborn. The pain never ends, and it is not recognized by so many people, especially officially.

I’m 1 in 4 who have experienced the loss of a child. Help us to have an Official Day to remember those we lost.

in recognition of the fact child loss can occur in all walks of life, at anytime during pregnancy or shortly after, and it should be recognised and respected, not shunned like taboo and never spoken of or acknowledged.

I've lost multiple babies and know lots of women who also have. These women and their babies should be recognised

Kelly Purchall (Albury, 2020-10-16)

My babies matter, my grief matters, my memories matter...... my babies could not be registered as legal births but they existed and I remember them. This day also needs recognition so that all the lost babies can not recognised.

Every life should be recognised, it is important to take the stigma away from pregnancy and infant loss, let us remember and honour little lives gone too soon

Venessa Prosper (The Central Coast, 2020-10-16)

I'm signing because after eight misscarriages and one still birth I was told it was too dangerous to try again. My dream from a child to be a mother would never come true.

Pregnancy and Infant Loss is a major life event affecting whole of life experience. It's a major grief and for far too long it has been treated as taboo and insignificant. It must be bought out into the light and the open. With October being declared International Pregnancy and Infant Loss month, this will will support families, raise awareness, educate, acknowledge and to a certain extent help ease the intensity and loneliness of the grief of the loss of these loved human beings.

My daughter Elisia was stillborn 40 years ago on Tuesday 24th September,1980. It is a day etched in my memory, my beautiful baby girl, not able to be held, not able to properly grieve. A sadness that has and always will be with me..... forever in my heart, her 3 brothers never to know their sister😔

I have had 2 miscarriages, first angel baby i lost at 8 weeks, my other two angel babies (twins) i lost at 18 weeks. Like others it'd mean the world to me,to know my angels and others, can be recognised and share this to help others to know they are not alone,that we ALL are in this together and not one soul should feel alone ever again

Coming together through such a challenging experience of pregnancy or infant loss can help us all heal. Having the wider community recognise the day would also catalyze people's recovery and feelings of solidarity.

I have suffered the loss of a baby and it would have helped to know there were others out there who had a similar experience. Break the silence!

I lost my daughter in May this year at 23wks. I never expected to need a day like this as much as I now do. October 15 is day to acknowledge and remember my daughter outside of the day we lost her, a day for others to reflect on their loss and communicate their experience, for our friends, family, community, government to learn and better understand the impact of losing a child. On October 15 I did not feel alone in my pain, I felt compassion, empathy and love from those around me and that meant the world to me.

Cherie Davies (Sydney, 2020-10-21)

I also suffered many miscarriages and also lost two babies after years on IVF. Gave up hope of having a child then I was so lucky to finally have a son

Jordan Thompson (Canberra, 2020-11-12)

#719

The statistic is 1 in 4
I have lost 4 out of 6
It would be wonderful fo this to be nationally recognized. It always stings my heart when I see Vic hospitals partaking in breastcancer awereness but nothing in pregnancy and infant loss, which is indescribable because how many women a day wall into their ED losing their baby, I know with my last there was another woman waiting in the ED bleeding in early pregnancy, that's 2 on the one day. This day SHOULD be recognized.

Monica Taylor (Epping, 2020-11-13)

I lost my baby to a late miscarriage and this would mean a lot to me if this was passed. These babies deserved to be remembered. 🤍

Rebecca Mitchell (Wadalba, 2021-02-15)

Because we need this day. As a mother of a baby born sleeping and also as someone who has experienced miscarriage, this day means a lot to many people and should be a recognised national day.
