Product Description
For a woman who has experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of an infant, conceiving another child can be fraught with mixed emotions. This guide, filled with up-to-date medical information and written by a woman who herself experienced a successful pregnancy after the loss of her first baby, can help women cope with their anxiety. It offers guidance for women asking such questions as: Why did it happen--and how can I make sure it doesn't happen again?Will my next pregnancy be considered high-risk?How long should I wait before getting pregnant again?What can I expect at prenatal exams?Will I ever be able to love another baby as much as I love the one I lost?
Pregnancy after a loss can be a time of great emotional upheaval--but also, a time of healing and hope. With this sensible, sensitive guide, women can put their minds at ease--and learn to look forward to the future as they make peace with the past.

Format:Paperback
i found this book extremely easy to read, and it laid out many other women's experiences well. it brought together a whole range of different reasons why people lost their children and as written by a woman who had had the experience, was very sympathetic and reassuring to the reader.
i found the book extremely positive, and mentioned many women who had gone onto have successful pregnancies after a loss for various reasons. i read it and felt alot more positive.
the only draw back would be the fact that as the author is based in america, some of the advice would not be relevant to our NHS system

This book is friendly and easy-to-read but I found it's just too positive for my liking. The author keeps stressing how every woman she quotes has gone on to have a successful pregnancy. Well, in my book that's pretty biased, given that many readers (myself included) are in the high-risk pregnancy category. Yes, we want positivity, but we don't need smug, 'it'll all be OK in the end' dictum.

I'm 12wks pregnant after my baby was stillborn last year at 38wks and this book is my best friend. I only wish there was a UK version as the medical stuff is all American.
