One Little Word

I thought stillbirth was just that, stillbirth: then I learnt there is a very important word that changes everything, PREVENTABLE Stillbirth.

This week one of the many aspects of the stillbirth of my daughter was expanded on by both Mamamia and The Daily Mail.

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.

Before the storm: A story about us, just days before our Stillbirth. New Blog over on the Website. ⬆️⬆️⬆️link in bio ⬆️⬆️⬆️. I was feeling all of my 31 and a half weeks of pregnancy with Claudia that morning as I, the lone parental figure, made the usual breakfast bargains and negotiations with my two daughters just to get a piece of toast eaten. School lunches, recesses, snacks and drinks all lay waiting on the counter and stayed defiantly unpacked until the 30th reminder. Lugging my swollen body and glorious fluidly cankles around the house, I rummage around looking for some mythical piece of clothing that makes me feel ethereal, blessed and carefree. Finding nothing to fit the criteria I settle for a dress that doesn't smell and a pair of undies that although freshly clean, had given up long ago. .
