Description
Book synopsis
I am a nurse practitioner working in maternal mental health and have experienced my own struggles with complicated pregnancies and the impact they have on the family unit. Within a period of three years, I experienced three pregnancies. One ended in miscarriage, one resulted in a premature delivery due to pre-eclampsia and the other resulted in inpatient bedrest for many weeks with a premature delivery due to placenta previa. I hope that sharing my experiences will help decrease the stigma associated with complicated pregnancies, prematurity, and maternal mental health.
