Still Aware’s mission is to end preventable stillbirth through awareness and education. Still Aware is the first internationally recognised not-for-profit charity solely dedicated to ending preventable stillbirth,

through awareness and education. Still Aware challenge behaviours and change habits to save lives. Through cross platform awareness and internationally-recognised education initiatives, Still Aware promote and provide information backed by research. Still Aware operates under the guidance of its Board and Clinical Advisory Board. Still Aware is a self-funded charity, relying soley on the generosity of donors, the community and bereaved parents.

To the fathers who grieve quietly. Who carry their baby's memory in every part of their day. Who love beyond measure, whether their child is here or gone.

This Bereaved Father's Day, we see you. We honour you. You are, and always will be, a dad.

Loss does not lessen fatherhood. It never has. The love remains real, powerful, and enduring, today and every day.

To the fathers who were never asked how they're doing. Who went back to work the next day. Who held everyone else together while quietly falling apart. Your grief matters too.

To the fathers who whisper their baby's name when no one's listening. Who mark birthdays that never came. Who carry a love with nowhere to go, and carry it anyway.

We say their names today. We say yours too.

Today we honour you 💙

Myth: "My baby will slow down before birth, they're just running out of room."

Fact: this is 100% not true. Your baby's movements should continue to steadily grow stronger right up until your due date.

There's no such thing as a baby running out of room to move. If you notice a slow down, don't wait it out. Contact your care provider immediately.

Third trimester? Your baby's movements matter more than ever.

From 28 weeks, continue monitoring the strength, pattern and frequency of your baby's movements every day. Any change, even if you're not sure, is worth getting checked.

Trust what you know. Contact your midwife or doctor immediately if something feels different for you or your baby.

Just one of the many stories we come across doing our important advocacy work.

At a recent Pregnancy Babies and Children’s Expo in Sydney, our wonderful volunteer Naksia was approached by a couple who were worried about stillbirth risk in the third trimester. What stayed with her was that the woman had already asked her own hospital about this, more than once, and no one could give her an answer.

So she turned to Still Aware instead.

It's a reminder of why this work matters. Expectant parents deserve real, clear information about stillbirth risk, not silence. And when the system doesn't provide it, we want to be there.

Volunteer with Still Aware and be part of the difference.

Some phone calls no parent should ever have to make.

Yvie's mum Jess described the 24 hours after her birth as a roller coaster. Disbelief. A quiet hope that the doctors had somehow got it wrong. The moment she didn't want to see her baby. And then the tears, so many tears.

She says holding Yvie was the greatest sense of loss she will ever feel as a human being. That moment is why she has dedicated herself to preventing other families from facing the same heartbreak.

Yvie is remembered. Yvie is loved.

A very long few seconds of silence. Then her cry.

Rosie's mum Jessica will never forget it. What she didn't know yet was just how close things had come.

The next day, biopsy results revealed blood clots in the placenta and serious problems with the umbilical cord. Complications commonly linked to stillbirth. If Rosie had been delivered even a little later, she may not be here today.

This is a story of hope. This is why timing, and awareness, save lives.

Rosie is perfect. Rosie is here. 💙

Silence hurts more than people think.

When someone loses a baby, the quiet that follows is already unbearable. When the people around them say nothing, that silence gets louder.

Alfie's life didn't end when she died. Claire says her daughter's memory lives on through her, and through everyone Still Aware has reached since.

Still Aware doesn't exist for Alfie. It exists because of her. Because of her life, and her death, in the same breath. Because without her, Claire wouldn't have known that stillbirth is a leading cause of death in Australia, one that so few people talk about.

Alfie was a pivotal part of Claire and Brad’s life. She still is.

No one warns you what stillbirth actually feels like from the inside.

Claire describes being engulfed by every emotion at once. Rage. Fear. Calm. Serenity. All colliding in the same breath.

This is what it can feel like for a mother in the moment she loses her baby. Strange. Uncomfortable. Impossible to fully put into words, even years later.

If someone in your life is going through this, they may not know what they need either, and that's okay. Don't wait for them to ask. Show up. Sit with them in silence if that's what they want. Say her baby's name. Bring food, not questions. Let them be angry, let them cry, let them go quiet, without needing any of it to make sense.

Part 3 of Claire's story. 🤍

Claire and Brad didn't know the word "stillbirth" until they read it in a hospital pamphlet, hours after losing Alfie.

It described her as rare. She wasn't.

Six babies are stillborn every day in Australia. Five other families were living Claire and Brad’s exact experience, that same day.

They had seen five different health professionals throughout their pregnancy. Not one of them mentioned that stillbirth was even possible.

"Why wasn't anyone here to tell us?"

That question became the reason Still Aware exists today.

This is Part 2 of Claire's story. 🤍
