If you have had an ectopic pregnancy, do not purchase this book! While blighted ovums and molar pregnancies are devastating occurances, they are very different than ectopic pregnancies. This book groups the three together, even mentioning them as "a mass of tissue". My ectopic pregnancy was 14 weeks, and he was anything but tissue. I found this book to very insensitive on the loss of a pregnancy due to ectopic. True that the woman's health is important in this type of pregnancy, but the book seemed to only focus on this aspect of ectopic pregnancy.

This was a good book for people who have experienced 1 or more miscarriages. It does not have to be read cover to cover. Each chapter is a separate entity, you only need (or want) to read the chapters that are applicable to your situation. It was a book that made me feel as though I was not alone in this situation.

I found a lot of good information and advice in this book as I coped with an ectopic pregnancy--not only for myself, but also for my husband and for our families. Although the section on ectopic pregnancy does not adequately address the treatment options (or the emotional ramifications of extended methotrexate therapy), the general text dealing with miscarriage really helped me.
