The Miscarriage Rebellion Podcast
All Episodes
Hear from Australians who have experienced the devastation of early pregnancy loss and experts who provide insight into the challenges we face.
With evidence and empathy, we unpack the shame, blame and stigma; the lack of support that many face and the need for better understanding and care.
We are here to normalise the conversation. We are here to make a change.

Pink Elephants urgently need more funding to provide early-intervention support to the hundreds of women every day who lose a baby to early pregnancy loss.
We are the only national support service specific to pregnancy loss prior to 20 weeks and receive no ongoing government funding.
Pink Elephants is calling for an investment of $1.6 million to help bridge the gap between demand for our circle of support and our current capacity.
For nearly 8 years we’ve been relying on raising our own funds whilst building, evaluating and iterating support programs that work. Given the prevalence and significant emotional impact of miscarriage, it is crucial for the Federal government to invest in supporting women who experience early pregnancy loss. By recognising and prioritising the emotional needs of women affected by miscarriage, the government sets a precedent for empathy and compassion in society.

“As hard as it may be to talk about the loss of a baby and with the baby, one’s hopes and dreams, I look forward to the day where we talk about our losses openly, where we hold space for the grief and pain of those who are experiencing it, where we shed the stigma and with it the unwritten, unspoken expectation that we should “just get over it” and that “it isn’t a big deal”.
It's time to make the unspoken, spoken. It’s time to rebel.”
