Synopsis

This work provides insight into the subjective experience of stillbirth, miscarriage and pregnancy, and the professional response. It has grown out of interviews with women and with the range of health professionals who were significant in their care. These experiences are drawn upon to explore the dilemmas in offering good care, and to suggest ways in which practice might be improved.

Book Overview: 'It is particularly useful for both professionals and those in training pointing, as it does, to the uniqueness of the individual experience.' - Ruth Bender Atik, National Director, The Miscarriage Association 'I particularly like the use of direct quotations, the 'data' in rich, qualitative research' - Professor Sheila C. Hunt, Head of School of Women's Health Studies, The University of Central England 'This unique study is divided into chapters to enable professionals to 'dip' into what may be pertinent to them...I believe, however, that the book's richness lies in its entirety and exploring areas in which they have had little experience will challenge and reward the reader.' - Alison Chevassut, MIDIRS Midwifery Digest
