 Rating 5   Written on December 27, 2003
   Summary: Someone understood
One of the most difficult things about losing a baby through miscarriage or stillbirth (I've been through both) is dealing with the insensitive comments of friends and family members who simply do not understand the depth of your grief about the baby who died, or the extent of your anxiety as you embark upon a subsequent pregnancy. It was wonderful to stumble upon a resource like "Trying Again" that acknowledged my emotions and provided me with detailed answers to all the medical questions that were troubling me during this difficult time in my life. This book is truly incredible and I highly recommend it to other bereaved parents.

 Rating 4   Written on November 17, 2003
   Summary: validating and reassuring
After having experienced the death of my premature baby at 22 weeks, I searched for information and help with sorting out my feelings and understanding why this happened and what can I possibly do now...overall I found this book the most helpful and comforting in that way. I highly recommend it to others who experience these kinds of tragedies in their lives...

 Rating 5   Written on July 10, 2003
   Summary: Compassionate, gentle, and reassuring
This is the first review I've ever written for Amazon.com, although I often shop here. I felt compelled to write because I felt that a recent review totally missed the mark about this wonderful book. The authors have done an incredible job, in my opinion, of balancing information with emotional support. They include quotes and stories from dozens and dozens of parents who have been through the death of a baby and who have somehow found the courage to try again. (BTW -- I didn't take "trying again" to imply a previous failure at all. To me, it merely refered to trying to conceive after a loss. I didn't find the title offensive in the least.) And as for the reviewer's comment about the book being potentially offensive to a pro-life reader, that comment is totally off the mark. There are one or two stories of women who made the heartwrenching decision to terminate, but there is never any attempt to say that this is the right or wrong decision. I thought the authors were very balanced in their discussion of this difficult and emotionally loaded issue.

I would urge other readers to try not to be put off by this single (and I would say unfairly harsh) review of this book. Trying Again has been a huge blessing to me during a very difficult time in my life. It makes me sad that another reader fails to appreciate what a wonderful gift these authors have given the world in writing this book.


 Rating 3   Written on July 4, 2003
   Summary: okay medical info, not much emotional support
I reviewed Trying Again for my local infant loss support group after already having a subsequent pregnancy. This book is intended for women who have become pregnant after a loss without really understanding why their babies died the first time or what they can do about it. As such, it's much more medical than I expected, very clinical on a basic level, and without as many personal stories or tips about your emotional state than I would have expected given its length. The medical talk runs the risk of scaring women who may suddenly self-diagnose their pregnancies with everything that could possibly happen. A book with more emotional support would be "Still To Be Born" by Schwiebert and Kirk.

I was irritated by the title, since "Trying Again" means you failed, and I hate to see the death of a baby treated as a failure. The author also assumes that most parents' automatic response to the diagnosis of a birth defect is to terminate the pregnancy, so pro-life readers may be a little distressed whenever the subject arises. No parents are featured who carried to term after a fatal diagnosis.


 Rating 5   Written on June 14, 2003
   Summary: A Reassuring Read
Having just lost a baby to stillbirth, I ordered this book in hopes to trying to conceive again. It is a reassuring book for those of us who have lost a baby and anxiously want to try again, but are nervous and scared. The author addresses all the fears you encounter in a subsequent pregnancy and also offers a lot of tangible information. I'd certainly recommend this book to a mother who has experienced a loss and wants to try again. Now, wish me luck in conceiving!
