Pregnancy loss or infant loss devastates many families in Australia each year. Around 1750 babies die after the twenty-week mark through pregnancy and are stillborn. More than 850 babies die within the first month of life, and over 100,000 women and their partners experience pregnancy loss through miscarriage.
