Pregnancy After Loss parent guide

Closing note

There’s no single path through pregnancy after loss. Some days may feel hopeful, others heavy or uncertain. These ups and downs are part of finding your way.

This guide was created to support you — whether you’re early in your pregnancy, nearing birth, or somewhere in between. You can take things one step at a time, in a way that feels right for you.

Each year on August 22, families across Australia and around the world mark National Rainbow Baby Day — a time to honour the babies who are no longer here, while celebrating the new life that has followed. For some, the term rainbow baby captures the beauty and complexity of that experience. For others, different words may feel more fitting — and that’s completely okay.

What matters most is
that your story reflects
your truth. 

You are not alone.
