Summary: A very informative and compassionate book
Comment: This is a very compassionate and informative book - a "must read" for anyone who has experienced a miscarriage. Dr. Scher explains in clear layperson's terms the many different possible causes of miscarriage. He even goes back to the basics and explains the female anatomy and the menstrual cycle (important for those trying to conceive at the right time!).
This book also contains many personal stories from couples who have had miscarriages, as well as the success of live births after they tried different approaches. This adds a very personal and touching aspect to the book - one which couples who have experienced the same loss can relate to.
I must admit that I was originally 'prejudiced' that Dr. Scher is a male doctor and may not be able to fully empathize with a woman's feelings. But I was proved definitely wrong! This book definitely emits 'heart' and caring -- male or female -- and he gives much hope for people who have experienced pregnancy loss. I for one am encouraged, especially after having two miscarriages. Thanks for a great book in your inventory!

Summary: Wonderful book - highly reccommend!
Comment: I've really found this book helpful, and after 4 miscarriages, I have now safely made it past my first trimester of pregnancy. One of the most disturbing problems with miscarriage is that though you feel overwhelming guilt, there seems to be very little information about what can be done to prevent it. Not only does this book have stories from real women who have gone through the heartbreak and trauma of miscarriage, it also has very practical advice on what you can do to prevent it. It presents technical information in a clearly understood, yet very compassionate manner. I liked this book so much that I recently bought a second copy for a friend. The ONLY complaint I have, and the only reason this book did not receive a fifth star, is because it was copyrighted in 1990 - almost 12 years ago. I sincerely hope that Dr. Scher and Ms. Dix consider writing a second edition to this book. I think it would be well received, and helpful to a great many people. And THAT book, I will be sure to rate as a perfect 5 stars!

Summary: Too Out of Date to Be Truly Useful
Comment: A lot has happened in the past 10 years in the area of recurrent miscarriage, and this book is, unfortunately, hopelessly out of date. For example, he mentions being "immunized" with your partner's white blood cells as a possible treatment for a specific immune problem, even though studies have shown that this treatment doesn't decrease the rate of miscarriage. If you buy this book, buy it to be read the personal stories of women who have overcome recurrent pregnancy loss, but don't rely on any of the medical information without first consulting a more up to date book, like "Miscarriage: What Every Woman Needs to Know" by Lesley Regan which was published in 2001. It's only available through Amazon UK, unfortunately, but is well worth the effort to get a copy.
