In 1988, US President Ronald Reagan declared October as a month to recognize the unique grief of bereaved parents in an effort to demonstrate support to the many families who have suffered such a tragic loss. Promoting awareness of pregnancy and infant loss not only increases the likelihood that grieving families will receive understanding and support, but also results in improved education and prevention efforts which may ultimately reduce the incidence of these tragedies.
If you or someone you care about has lost a child to stillbirth, miscarriage, SIDS, or any other cause at any point during pregnancy or infancy, please join us in raising awareness this October for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

The Pregnancy Research Project is a research study bringing together patients and researchers to advance knowledge and discover preventions and treatments for poor pregnancy outcomes.
Giving the gift of data has the potential to save thousands of lives. Please consider participating in the Pregnancy Research Project.
You are eligible to participate if:
For example: If you had a live birth in 2021, a stillbirth in 2022 and are currently pregnant, you can participate 3 times.Â
While a Federal Proclamation was achieved in 1988 to establish October as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, you can work with your city or state officials to obtain a local proclamation. Sometimes they can be permanent and other times they are for one year only and need to be re-established. Be sure to check with your local officials offices.

In October, and always, we honor all babies amongst the stars with their name and picture (optional), including those memorialized on our website as Our Stars. You can also create a free memorial page in their honor. Please help us remember these beloved babies by reading their stories.
