    Synopsis

    "A 'must-have' guide for the devastated couple dealing with the many questions and fears that occur with a subsequent pregnancy." --Candace Hurley, Executive Director/Founder, Sidelines National Support Network

    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.

    "Compassionate and comprehensive." --Perry-Lynn Moffitt, coauthor of A Silent Sorrow: Pregnancy Loss

    * Contains up-to-the-minute medical advice and information
    * Unlike other books about pregnancy loss that focus solely on the grieving process, Pregnancy After a Loss helps women to prepare, both psychologically and physically, for a new pregnancy

    Pregnancy after a Loss: A Guide to Pregnancy after a Miscarriage, Stillbirth or Infant Deathby Anonymous

    December 12, 2006: So many thoughts went through my head in the days, weeks and months after my baby died. Did I do something to cause it? Would I ever be able to have a healthy baby? How could I possibly make it through another pregnancy? The author of this book addressed all of those questions and more. It was a lifesaver for me. It helped me to understand that my feelings were 'normal,' and I also was able to see that other women had crossed the same road and made it to the other side. Thank you for helping me through the darkest period of my life!

    October 29, 2006: I thought this book was full of hope. Like the author, I lost a son late in my pregnancy, and this book helped me in my search for what went wrong and provided guidance as my husband and I considered another pregnancy. But more importantly, it has been a treasured companion now that I am pregnant again. I read it anytime I need encouragement because every woman quoted in the book went on to have a healthy baby. That gives me hope that I will too!
