Dr MARJORIE O'NEILL (Coogee) — Mr Speaker, October 15 is International Pregnancy & Infant Loss Day, a solemn day when bereaved parents from New South Wales, Australia, and around the world pause to remember their babies who have passed away. This annual day of remembrance honours the approximately 106,000 thousand babies who lose their lives to miscarriage, stillbirth and newborn death each year. Miscarriage, stillbirth, and newborn death are truly tragic events and the death of a baby is an intensely painful and isolating experience and can happen to any family. With 1 in 6 Australian women experiencing pregnancy or infant loss throughout their lives, the difficulty that these women and their families often face is an important step in providing the networks and resources for them to better cope with the challenged of adjusting to life without their baby. I would like to today acknowledge those within my electorate of Coogee, and across Australia who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss and commend you for your strength and resilience in the face of such a challenging experience.
