Allen and Marks also did a small sampling of women about their feelings about the miscarriage, their treatment and feelings in general, ranging from days after a miscarriage to years. Women were open and honest about the fears and daily life before the miscarriage and after, a real peak into the solitary space that precedes a miscarriage, the days of uncertainty.
The book has a few shortcomings. First of all it assumes that you will want more intervention in a future pregnancy. This is despite the fact that miscarriage rates can't be changed through technology. It also does not include information about midwifery care.
The back sections are dedicated to getting well, physically and emotionally. It's broken down into section for women, partners, care providers, hospital personnel, ministers, etc. This book is a very handy resource for anyone who works with pregnant women. There is also a listing of books and other resources for those who are grieving.
