Hidden Loss Miscarriage and Ectopic Pregnancy

"One in five pregnancies failed - yet miscarriage remains a footnote in most pregnancy books, its emotional and physical impact minimised. Beginning with personal accounts, Hidden Loss goes on to offer a feminist analysis of the experience of miscarriage in our society. Why is the reality of prebirth loss hidden under euphemism and evasion? The book contains essential information about the known causes of prebirth loss, as well as about GP and hospital practice."-- Back cover.
