Pregnancy Babies & Children's Expo in Brisbane 15-17 June 2018

For 27 years, our family owned and run Pregnancy Babies & Children’s Expo has been putting our visitors face to face with real experts and we have made a truly positive difference in the lives of so many new and expectant parents.  We’ve had the privilege to work with many inspiring parents who have turned their own parenting tragedies into education and support for others.

One such example is a mother to a baby born still at 9 months gestation, Claire Foord. Claire formed the organisation Still Aware which “seeks to change how we talk about stillbirth prior to the tragedy, educating for awareness and raising awareness for prevention.” Even now, every day 6 babies are born still in Australia. Thanks to one pregnant woman’s visit to our recent Adelaide Expo and the information she received from Still Aware, her baby was saved from being still born.

Karl & Alex lost their son River at just 128 days old to SIDS.  From that day forward, they have strived to discover “why this happens”, and their foundation River’s Gift is now one of the largest sources of non-government funding for SIDS research in Australia.

The number of children killed in driveway accidents in Australia each year is similar to backyard pool drownings.  Emma and Peter lost their 15-month-old daughter Georgina to a driveway accident at their own home. They formed the Georgina Josephine Foundation to develop support services for families affected by low-speed vehicle runover accidents, and to prevent and reduce unintentional injury or death of children in such accidents.

In Queensland over 4,000 babies are born prematurely each year.  The Preterm Infants’ Parents’ Association (PIPA) was formed in 1980 by parents of premature babies with the goal of offering support to the families going through this difficult challenge.  Still operating today thanks to its dedicated volunteers, PIPA have exhibited at every Brisbane PBC Expo since its conception in 1992! 

The Pregnancy Babies & Children’s Expo is about real people, real stories, authentic and reliable guidance and invaluable education, even sometimes saving babies lives. Meet the people behind these inspirational organisations, as well as seeing the biggest range of Australia’s best pregnancy and baby products and services at our Expo this weekend.
