This week one of the many aspects of the stillbirth of my daughter was expanded on by both Mamamia and The Daily Mail. There are so many interconnected issues beyond your the death of your baby that occur, it is great to have the discussions widen. These articles are focused on stillbirth, mental health, body image and guilt. .

How did you view your body after stillbirth? Negative self-talk, resentment, body shaming, critical labelling? It can all add unnecessary weight to the emotional and physical experience you have already gone through. Click through to the website for a new post looking at my experience with this. . . “In acknowledging the damaging view I had of my body after stillbirth, I couldn’t avoid that I was applying one of the most toxic of behaviours onto myself, a behaviour I was desperately trying to not have others throw upon me, that of judgement. I was afraid that others could see my broken postpartum body, and they would look and somehow see from my body’s outward appearance that within me was an abnormality of life, a mother with no baby. That my function as a child barer had been so faulty and that I was incapable of the living up to the word ‘mother’. Blindly, what I did was pre-empt others and their judgements, by casting my own judgement on myself.” Full article on the website linked in bio 🌸❤️ #stillbirth #stillbirthsupport #miscarriage #bodyimage #bodydismorphia #recovery #selflove #love #parenting #postpartumbody #postpartum #grief #loss #childloss #babyloss

Love it when my work and study combine. It's very different writing for academic purposes than writing blog entries. But I love them both! ❤❤ . . #stillbirthsuppprt #stillbirth #childloss #writing #writersofinstagram #parenting #maternity #death #family #love #peersupport #miscarriage #pregnancy #pregnancyloss #blog

Each year is filled with its ups and downs, but I can always feel my heart is full with love you gave us. . Love Always, Mum and Dad . #stillbirthsuppprt #stillbirthawareness #stillbirth #childloss #loss #love

The completed final report from the Australian Governments Senate Inquiry into Stillbirth was tabled this afternoon, with many recommendations put forward that will hopefully reduce the rate of stillbirth in Australia. Copy and paste link below for full report and recommendations from the Committee. https://bit.ly/2KRRT5z Thank you to Still Aware for allowing me to add my voice to papers tabled to the Senate Inquiry. . . #stillbirth #senateinquiry #pregnancy #pregnancyloss #stillbirthsupport #allbabiesmatter #voiceforthevoiceless
