5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS THE PERFECT BOOK FOR ANYONE WHO'S LOST A BABY, October 8, 2009

This review is from: WHEN PREGNANCY FAILS (Paperback)

You cannot imagine how much comfort this book brought to my husband and I when we suffered two miscarriages and a son who was still-born. I've bought used copies of the book for other couples many times over and it never fails to bring solace. Hopefully someone will realize the need and publish a new edition. There is simply nothing else like it available to my knowledge.

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't Address Early Miscarriage, September 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: When Pregnancy Fails (Hardcover)

This book is touching and offers stories from real women's experience, but tries to be to broad. The book doesn't really talk about early miscarriage. It is written by two women whose infants died in the hospital, and almost all of the examples are stories of women who have gone through similar experiences. In the chapter on miscarriage, the stories are all of women who lost thier babies after the first trimester. The authors also misdefine missed abortion.
