The Miscarriage Guide, Kate White, M.D., OB/GYN, miscarriage survivor, associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Boston University School of Medicine and Vice Chair of Academics in the OB/GYN department at Boston Medical Center, combines the latest medical research with the information women need--the facts and the forecasts, the grief and the hope--as they experience a pregnancy loss.
Miscarriage affects almost 1 million women in the United States every year. Yet each woman experiencing a pregnancy loss often feels alone and full of questions about the process and the aftermath. And today's health care system is simply not designed to shepherd a woman and her family through the loss with the information and understanding they need. A woman needs an experienced hand to help guide her through one of the most painful experiences of her life.
Having experienced two miscarriages of her own, Dr. Kate's provides women and their families with the two things sorely missing from their experience: detailed answers to their questions about miscarriage, and support and guidance through the healing process.
The Miscarriage Guide takes a woman through the journey of miscarriage diagnosis and treatment. It addresses
all types of pregnancy loss--like ectopic and molar pregnancies, as well as ones that are often overlooked by the media and other books.
Filled with accessible information, frequently asked questions and answers, and methods for coping with grief, the book empowers women undergoing pregnancy loss to take control over their experience. Written from the perspective of a medical professional who has cared for women having miscarriages for more than 20 years and a woman who has experienced two miscarriages herself, Dr. Kate's
The Miscarriage Guide is an earnest conversation between doctor and reader that provides compassion and guidance, as well as hope for a woman's future pregnancy efforts.
