Product Description

Product Description

One in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage - it is the most common complication of pregnancy and also one of the least understood. Professor Lesley Regan is the first woman to hold a chair on obstetrics and gynaecology in the country and for the past decade she has worked to establish the biggest miscarriage clinic in the world. This book gives up-to-date information on the many causes of miscarriage and the latest treatments available. It covers the chances of a successful pregnancy, how to prepare for and cope with the next pregnancy, infertility, and gives answers to the most commonly asked questions on the subject of miscarriage. Revised and updated to take account of the latest developments in the study of miscarriage, this book is the book everyone who has ever suffered a miscarriage will need.

5.0 out of 5 stars A helpful and sympathetic book, 30 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This book is written by a wonderful lady. She manages to write factually about all the different reasons for miscarriage, facts and figures etc in a very caring and sympathetic way. It was a godsend to me after my second miscarriage - it makes you realise that you are not alone and that the odds really are still in your favour in succeeding in having a "take home baby". It is particularly interesting to read of the results that her clinic have found from the "tender loving care" approach offered in early pregnancy to previous m/c sufferers - they found a much higher success rate in future pregnancys in mothers who were looked after, offered frequent early scans etc than those who didnt. Has made me a lot more informed of what I should be expecting from my GP and local maternity clinic in the future. Much more positive after reading this about the next time!

5.0 out of 5 stars A very useful book from an acknowledged leader in the field, 17 Sep 2003
By A Customer
This is a very useful book from an acknowledged leader in the field. I disagree with previous reviewers who have suggested that it is of little use to those suffering their first miscarriage or that you shouldn't read it too soon after a miscarriage. While much of the book does deal with recurrent miscarriage there is plenty of relevance to a first miscarriage (including reassuring statistics on the likelihood of a successful outcome to future pregnancies) and I found it very helpful even when going through the miscarriage process; it gave me a good basis of knowledge from which to make decisions about treatment options and discuss my situation with medical professionals.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book I've Found, 30 April 2002
By A Customer
I bought the original edition of this book in 1997. It is the most comprehensive guide to understanding miscarriage I've found. Lesley Regan explains the main causes of miscarriage, types of treatment and prospects for future pregnacies in a straight-forward and sensitive way.

Although she provides detailed medical information, it is always clear and easy-to-understand. I've since moved to the United States where there really is no comparable book or research program. Thanks to Leslie Regan, I know as much or more about recurrent miscarriage than some of the doctors I've seen. It's really helped me to identify a good doctor and to understand my treatments.

But it's not just medical information. Lesley Regan uses her experience to address the most common fears and anxieties experienced by women who have had multiple miscarriages - things I haven't seen anywhere else. Her genuine sympathy and compassion for miscarriage sufferers is the common theme throughout the book. I'm sure it makes everyone who reads it wish she was their doctor!

Frankly, I don't know how we would have endured my four losses without this book. It was incredibly informative and comforting. I know it has played a huge part in helping me and my husband to find the courage to keep trying.

Whether you or a friend has experienced multiple losses, or a single loss, this is the single most useful book available.
