It's not so much about preventing, but giving the millions of reasons it could happen and some paths to take if that applies to you.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone trying to get pregnant or the first time, it'll just be scary. It's more for someone who has had 2-3 and needs to look for a different path. It also contains a lot of success stories of women who had a lot of problems and finally found success.

This was a good, informative book. It talks about the different reasons people miscarry and the different medical treatments, as well as some simple ways to improve your chances of everything turning out okay next time. It is overall, very positive. Whether it actually helps prevent miscarriage remains to be seen!

This book gave me some new information, but not much. I was very hopeful that I would learn more, but apparently I have already done too much reading and research. Also, the author had some facts that were just plain wrong, i.e. your period always comes exactly 14 days after ovulation! WTH? So I am a little disinclined to believe him already. Maybe the next book will be more helpful.

This is a well-rounded book, offering hope, and a wide range of medical treatments, including immune treatments. I just really want to know if the poor woman(Philippa) with the repeated 20+ week losses ever managed to have a child.

This was a very informational book on the possible causes of miscarriage and possible treatments. It's a bit technical but it may help you understand what things to look for if you have miscarried.
