"I skimmed through most of the medical sections, searching instead for advice on recovering from the emotional ramifications of miscarriage. But this wasn't big on emotions, which in some weird way I found comforting. It was, in a large and comprehensive bookstore, the only book on the shelves dealing with miscarriage. Which is telling. And the authors reinforced this lack of acknowledgment about a situation so common and so dismissed by stating very clearly: most people just aren't going to get it- they'll tell you, "oh, you'll try again." or "it happens to so many women" etc etc (my "favorite" comment from a friend was "You're not really pregnant until the 2nd trimester- before that it doesn't count." So, had my baby died one week later, she would have "counted"?). But the reassurance came in the statements that this is devastating, no matter when in the pregnancy it occurs and you will mourn and grieve and must allow yourself to fall apart.
Frankly, the discussion of medical reasons for miscarriage were terrifying and left me with a sense of hopelessness about the prospect of conceiving and carrying a baby to term. But that is an emotional reaction to a very important need to understanding and treatment.
I wondered why Misoprostal was not discussed as an alternative to D&C. Perhaps because the jury is still out re: treatment protocol."
"I recommend this to anyone that has had a miscarriage and having difficulty understanding it. And recommend it especially to those with recurrent or second term miscarriages."
