At Not A Pony, we strive to break down the barriers that stop us talking about issues like miscarriage and infant loss. We are not brought up with a vocabulary for difficult topics such as these, as so we often choose to stay silent.

On Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day 2021, one of our founders Dana, recalls her miscarriage in 2020. We hope reading her story helps you feel a little less alone if you too have suffered a miscarriage in silence.

A big brava to our friend Maddy for sharing her Endo story with us for March Into Awareness Month. We have learnt so much about Endo this month – we hope you have too and that it helps us all approach friends living with Endo with more empathy and understanding.

To conclude PANDA week, we spoke with Michelle Cambrey, Perinatal Emotional Health Specialist Midwife at St Vincents’s Private Hospital in Melbourne. Michelle has experienced first-hand, the real and very damaging effects of postnatal depression and anxiety.
