Customer Reviews

a must read for anyone who has had a miscarriage

I read this book after experiencing my first miscarriage.It became my bible in understanding why this happened to me. The book gives detailed information as to the several known causes for miscarriage and also discussed the emotional side of loosing a pregancy. The author also encourages women to try again to get pregnant because if indeed there is a problem most doctors will not do anything until you have experienced at least three. The author writes in a very sympathetic but straighforward manner and really helped me to find the courage to try again.

A wonderful book for a very painful subject

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.

Very helpful - highly recommend.

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.

The BEST book on miscarriage I read

I got this book the day my OBGYN gave me the misoprostal to induce a miscarriage. After 2 years of infertility treatments my husband and I were devastated to learn our baby had died in utero at 11 weeks. Ms. Diamond's book helped me to heal and move on. The clear explanations helped me to understand the miscarriage and gave me concrete reasons that made sense to my head. Ms. Diamond's book also helped my heart by explaining to me that I wasn't alone (I thought I was) and that miscarriage doesn't make you less a woman. I think this book ought to be recommended by every OBGYN or Family Practice doctor who deals with patients who have miscarriages.

This is a book of healing!!

I purchased Motherhood... 2 weeks after my miscarriage and I wished I had gotten it sooner. I needed every word of the book so badly because I was seeking answers and solutions and no one could really help me. This book has aided me in healing. I had one successful pregnancy and never imagined in a million years that I would have a miscarriage during my 2nd pregnancy. Thanks to Ms. Diamond ( a true diamond indeed) for the gift of knowledge she has given to all women!!
