Editorial Reviews

Product Description
It is estimated that approximately one-half of all pregnancies result in miscarriage (although many of these occur so early in term that the woman is not aware of what has happened). Why is miscarriage still widely seen as an "unnatural" event, a disease or failure on the part of the prospective mother?

Dr. Kathleen Diamond, an expert in genetic research, explains in simple, easy-to-understand language the physical process of early pregnancy. Dr. Diamond is also a mother of two who has herself experienced four miscarriages. Motherhood After Miscarriage is a compelling, understandable explanation of a sensitive issue that has been ignored for too long.

"What happened-and why? Should I try again-and if so, how can I maximize the chances for a safe birth?" This book has the answers and also explores:

Myths and realities associated with miscarriage
Summaries of the known and suspected causes of single and recurrent miscarriage
The pros and cons of hormone treatments and in vitro fertilization
Miscarriage risks for prospective mothers over 35

About the Author
Kathleen Diamond has her Ph.D. in biochemistry with a specialty in molecular genetics. Her master's degree is in developmental biology. She has been a Fellow of the National Institutes of Health and the Molecular Biology Institute, and has lectured at UCLA on a variety of topics relating to cell and molecular biology.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as depressing as other miscarriage books, September 16, 1999
By Elizabeth Taylor (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews
I recently experienced my first miscarriage (and pregnancy) and found myself bombarded everywhere by stories of multiple miscarriages. These stories made my grief even more intense and gave me little hope for my future pregnancies. In "Motherhood After Miscarriage," Diamond describes a few cases of multiple miscarriages (including her own) but also emphasizes that most women who have experienced a single miscarriage do go on to have successful second pregnancies. After reading several books on the subject of miscarriage, I found this book gave me the most hope and optimism.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book for a very painful subject, November 13, 1999
By "sandyinak" (Gibsonia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
I am a mother of two, and recently had a miscarriage. This was the most traumatic, painful time of my life. It is a topic that most people don't discuss. Husbands are supportive, but not entirely understanding to how hard this will affect a woman. This book gave me insight into what was happening with my body, why this was happening to me, and how I can possibly go on to consider conceiving another child. I highly recommend this book to any woman who is faced with this very difficult, painful loss of a child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful - highly recommend., July 28, 1999
By A Customer
I really got a lot of this book after my missed miscarriage at two months pregnant. It helped me emotionally to hear her story and the stories of other women. It also provided me with all the medical information I needed and helped me to get a list of questions for my doctor. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has lost a pregnancy.
