A really beautifully put together memoir and informative book. I really enjoyed learning about how to support people going through loss, but I felt like the book could have been shorter with the same message

Raw, honest, insightful, and validating ride through miscarriage and lends a new eye to the complexity of the impact of pregnancy loss on pregnancy after loss.

An emotional read at times, but an informative one. This is a great resource that provides insight into how many women feel after a pregnancy loss and concrete ways to support them.

A must read for everyone because you know someone who has had a miscarriage. This book is a great resource for talking about miscarriages and fertility issues.

This book was also just good. It's difficult to gauge what a good nonfiction book feels like for me because my mind often focuses on how it takes me longer to read nonfiction in comparison to fiction books. This book was really great though. I learned more about miscarriages, especially the different types from earlier to later stage miscarriages. I also thought it was extremely interesting to see how Zucker experienced this trauma because she's also a psychologist with a specialty in reproductive topics. So that perspective was extremely unique and compelling. Sometimes the text felt less like a memoir than I was hoping - the text was certainly to serve as a place to understand the multitude of miscarriage/reproductive experiences, but sometimes I wanted to dig just a little bit deeper into Zucker's personal life. However, it was also cool to hear about a lot of different types of stories from people in her practice.

I believe this book is a must read for everyone in our culture - miscarriage or not. More than likely someone you know has had fertility issues, experienced pregnancy loss/had a stillbirth, followed by the many nuances and hardships that come with them. This book will give you insight, as well as tools on how to be there for those who have had these experiences. The book is beautifully written, poignant, and beyond validating. I truly don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t discovered I Had a Miscarriage and the powerful, life-changing, radical work of Jessica Zucker. Thank you for seeing me and thank you for seeing all of us.
