Book Description
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.

not helpful for early miscarriage,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pregnancy After a Loss (Paperback)
I miscarried at 10wks and did not feel this book was helpful.My feelings of loss were not validated by the author as the majority of her example were of 3rh trimester miscarriages, stillbirth, or infant deaths. I would recommend reading "Trying Again" to couples experiencing an early pregnancy loss.

Comfort,
By Tara (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pregnancy After a Loss (Paperback)
To start, I want to say I would recommend this book to everyone who has suffered a loss and is pregnant. C. Lanham covers every single feeling you might have and talks about them honestly. After receiving several self help books, along with advice from people who had NO idea what I was going through, this book offered me some comfort. I hated every book I read about infant loss and I resented every person who thought they had something wonderfully new to help my husband and I through our loss. After almost a year of trying for another baby, we finally got pregnant -- along with this pregnancy was fear and the grieving did not automatically stop. I did not suddenly want to see other's babies. I had many feelings and emotions, and this book was amazing. During our loss, I was tired of being told we were "normal" to feel the way we did. That was of NO comfort to me. Suddenly, being told I was normal when I had many strange thoughts and feelings (at this stage... after finally being pregnant again) and being told I was normal WAS a comfort to me. Thank you Carol Lanham for writing this book and helping me through a difficult time. Even my parents don't understand about what I am feeling and how I am acting. I have asked them to read parts of this book to help them understand. I would recommend it to everyone.

Not helpful for miscarriage,
By "betsy2@kc.rr.com" (Kansas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pregnancy After a Loss (Paperback)
I recently had a miscarriage at 7 weeks. I bought this book because the title addressed miscarriage. The author experienced the death of her baby one day before it was born. No matter how she tried to include the aspects related to miscarriage, that is not what her experience was based on. I feel like there is a world of difference between a miscarriage and the death of a baby that you have a funeral for. I found myself feeling so sad for people who lose babies later in pregnancy and shortly after birth and not seeing the connection between miscarriage. I realize that this book may be more helpful to me after I get pregnant again, but for now it has gone on the bookshelf.
