Miscarriage Australia is a first of its kind website that uses medically proven facts to help patients, and it’s been far too long in the making
The information vacuum around miscarriage, combined with the desperation of the grief-stricken, is the perfect breeding ground for misinformation and fertile soil for superstition., the first of its kind in Australia dedicated solely to evidence-based, medically-proven information and research, will be an absolute asset for patients in this space. It has been far too long in coming.
“Through research studies we’ve done over the last five years or so … we’ve basically found that a lot of the time healthcare support and social supports are lacking at the time they have miscarriages,” says Bilardi, who herself experienced early pregnancy loss. In the age of misinformation, there is already a plethora of junk floating around online masquerading as qualified medical advice. When you also wrap an issue in silence the way we have with miscarriage, there’s a dual element of shame and taboo, meaning there is often no opportunity to step in and clarify when a patient is drifting away from medically-proven fact.
