When a couple plans for a child today, every moment seems precious and unique. Yet, too often, even the best-strategized childbearing plans go awry. “The Myth of the Perfect Pregnancy” provides a reassuring perspective on early pregnancy loss and suggests ways for miscarriage to more effectively be acknowledged by women, their families, their healthcare providers and the maternity care industry.
