Real-life parenting tragedies help to save babies lives

For 28 years, our South Australian family owned and run Pregnancy Babies & Children’s Expo has been putting our visitors face to face with experts, making 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.  We have received direct feedback from our visitors that the information they received at our Expo saved their unborn babies lives.  

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 Pregnancy Babies & Children’s Expo is about real people, real stories, authentic and reliable guidance and invaluable education, and 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.

The PBC Expo has been proudly SA family owned and run for 28 years.  Founded in 1991 by Greg & Julie Rocke, it has grown to now host 7 Expos each year around Australia. With more than 1.6 million adults attending nationally to-date, our visitors constantly tell us that it is THE event to attend for the best advice, the latest products and the convenience of having everything they need to know and buy under the one roof, no matter what stage of parenting they are at.
