Pregnancy & Infant Loss: Interview with Clare Chambers

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss (PAIL) Remembrance Month and 15th October is PAIL Day. In this week’s episode, I speak with Clare Chambers as she shares the story of her first pregnancy which ended in the stillbirth of her precious daughter, Skye, at 35 weeks. We talk about how Clare grieved, and continues to grieve, this devastating loss, the reactions of her friends and family, and how she managed to keep a loving connection with her body. Clare also shares some vital information for pregnant people to be aware of, to reduce the risk of stillbirth and support a healthy pregnancy and birth, as well as suggestions for how we can support loved ones who have experienced a miscarriage, still birth or neonatal death.

It’s a longer episode than usual, but this is not a conversation to be rushed. 

Clare refers to a number of support services she’s found helpful and would recommend:

https://stillaware.org - Stillbirth awareness, education and prevention

https://preventstillbirth.org.au - Take the stillbirth promise to end preventable stillbirth

https://www.sands.org.au - Miscarriage, stillbirth and newborn death support

https://rednose.org.au - Research, support and education for ending baby and infant death

https://heartfelt.org.au - Giving the gift of professional photos to families who have experienced stillbirth or have children with life threatening illness.
