LEMON ribbons will be worn this week to mark National Miscarriage Awareness Day.

Frankston-based organisation Miscarriage Information Support Service offers support to families who have experienced miscarriage. MISS Vice President Melissa Jacobs says wearing a lemon ribbon is a mark of remembrance for children lost to miscarriage.

“National Miscarriage Awareness Day was on Sunday 7 May, and anyone is encouraged to wear a lemon ribbon in the week following National Miscarriage Awareness Day, leading up to Mother’s Day,” Jacobs said. “MISS would like to help prevent mental health issues after miscarriage, by encouraging women and men to seek support as required, and to grieve the loss of their baby.”

Approximately one in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage in Australia.

MISS recently received a Frankston Council grant through the Frankston Charitable Fund. Jacobs said the not-for-profit is “creating a video and developing resources for anyone impacted by miscarriage in the Frankston City and the wider community” with the money. The organisation has also arranged free lemon ribbons for people to wear.
