I had the misfortune of being one of her patients due to chronic pelvic pain and periods. She REFUSED to believe I had a gynecological issue, referred me to other specialists who ALL disagreed with her, reluctantly performed a laparoscopic and said “I was normal” and FAILED to diagnose my adenomyosis and endometriosis. She said I was just seeking attention, overweight, seeking parental validation and “too busy” to guess what was wrong with me. She should NOT be speaking about
Amanda supported: Request for Royal Children's Hospital to remove videos of Dr Sonia Grover: 28/3/25- 7/4/25This is disgraceful for such a well respected institution to be perpetuating such dangerous misinformation. When I had periods bad enough to have fainting and nausea, it was because I was dangerously low on iron and my body couldn't handle losing anymore of it. It is most definitely not normal symptoms of a regular period, and is a sign that something is very wrong with the body. You don't need a medical degree to know that, and the fact that someone who does have one is spreading such lies is shameful.
Niamh supported: Request for Royal Children's Hospital to remove videos of Dr Sonia Grover: 28/3/25- 7/4/25A change is required to the law regarding maternity leave for women who experience the unfathomable trauma of infant death.
Compassionate leave of a minimum of three months must be considered in this scenario, with the Federal government subsidising small businesses.
Sabrina supported: Baby Priya's Petition - Don't cancel maternity leave for infant death or stillbirthThank you for highlighting this gap in legislation after the unimaginable has happened. Grief has its own timeline - but I’m fairly certain it’s not 4 weeks!
My husband died of cancer 25 days before our youngest was born, twelve and a half weeks after diagnosis. With a newborn, toddler and preschooler it was 18 months before I went back to work. The grief was still raw but at least I had had time to process it.
Barbara supported: Baby Priya's Petition - Don't cancel maternity leave for infant death or stillbirthThank you for highlighting this gap in legislation after the unimaginable has happened to you. Grief has its own harrowing timeline - but I’m fairly certain it’s not 4 weeks!
Barbara supported: Baby Priya's Petition - Don't cancel maternity leave for infant death or stillbirthI was born 11.5 weeks premature (in 1973). It’s such a tragedy that this occurred. The treatment by her (the mother) employer, is disgraceful, and shows that to society (still) has a long way to go, when it comes to supporting our fellow humans, in times of grief, if not other circumstances.
Matthew supported: Baby Priya's Petition - Don't cancel maternity leave for infant death or stillbirthMy baby was tragically still born. Of course there is the grief from the loss of your baby, but you also need to physically recover from the pregnancy and birth. Cancelling maternity leave is inhumane.
Triona supported: Baby Priya's Petition - Don't cancel maternity leave for infant death or stillbirthParental leave is not just to raise a newborn. It's about having time and space to deal with everything that comes with birth including the physical and emotional impacts which sadly for some families includes devastating loss. Absolutely wild to say 'no live baby? No leave for you'. The parent is still a parent.
Bree supported: Baby Priya's Petition - Don't cancel maternity leave for infant death or stillbirthNo person should have to worry about money at a time like this. Emotionally, mentally and even physically this would be almost unbearable don't add worries to an already terrible situation. Help our mothers, we all have one so please, do better, protect the people you employ without them your business wouldn't be successful.
