Be prepared to be depressed,
While “Preventing Miscarriage: the Good News” provided much detailed information, I found it to provide little hope or optimism to me as someone who experienced her first pregnancy and miscarriage. Each of the stories went into great detail on the many miscarriages experienced by each women and the final desperate measures they took to have a successful pregnancy. The unwritten message I received was “once a miscarrier, always a miscarrier.” I would recommend this book to anyone who has experienced more than two or three miscarriages. But if this is your first miscarriage and you want to read this book, be prepared to be depressed.

|A helpful tool for coping with miscarriage.,
After experiencing indescribable pain and guilt when my first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage, I sought answers in as many books about pregnancy loss as I could find. This book was a helpful source of medical information for me. I found that it contained a wide range of medical explanations for miscarriage, and also included tips and suggestions for finding answers to my questions about my loss. It motivated me to actively pursue answers from my doctor instead of accepting the traditional assumption that a first miscarriage is usually just a “fluke” that does not justify any inquiry. It encourages couples to take a proactive approach to coping with miscarriage and preventing other failed pregnancies through action, understanding, and questioning.
Much of the book does, however, dwell on stories of women with fertility problems, repeated miscarriages, and uncommon medical disorders. This can be frightening to those of us who are coping with our first loss, hoping that it will be our last. I looked at these stories as an affirmation that women should investigate the cause of their miscarriage to at least rule-out some of the factors that can contribute to a failed pregnancy. Because at least 50% of all miscarriages are thought to occur due to chromosomal abnormalities in the developing fetus, these stories describe situations and problems that are not necessarily common to the majority of women who have miscarried. Yet, after my miscarriage, I found myself hungry for answers, desperate to understand the science behind such a terrible emotional and physical experience. This book provided me with an understanding of miscarriage that has helped me ask my doctor some important questions, and move forward with my life.
One important thing to note: This book was written in the early 90′s, and may not contain the most current information on infertility and miscarriage.
