I feel if I would have had this book my baby could have been saved. The information provided in this book is very valuable. It is an amazing piece of work. Dr. Sem truly cares about our experience 100%. I am only half way through this book but I know I will read it over and over. It gives me the confidence to carry another child and focus on full term. I have recommended this book to everyone I know. Don't think just because you haven't experienced the pain of a miscarriage that this book won't be helpful to you. It provides information that is easy to understand for every pregnancy.

I felt so much more empowered after reading this book on miscarriage. I have read several and whereas many I found good, this one struck a powerful cord in me! I believe this is due to the fact that an actual doctor wrote this book. He acts concerned for the woman as a whole. He also doesn't patronize with the "just wait and it will happen to you" statements. He seems to truly understand how a miscarriage plays with a woman's mind and emotions. I wish I had him as a doctor after my own 2 losses.

After suffering two miscarriages and getting no answers or help from my doctor, I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a copy of Dr. Sem's book at the local library. What I got from his book was information that empowered me to make wise decisions about prenatal care and answers to questions I had about my miscarriages. I later had the good fortune to meet Dr. Sem and have him as my obstetrician. I can honestly say he practices medicine unlike any doctor I've met. He is sincere, compassionate, and caring. He also takes time to listen to his patients and to get to know them personally. My husband and I feel very fortunate to know Dr. Sem and can never thank him enough for helping us to have two beautiful, healthy boys. Thank you Dr. Sem for having the courage to share information other doctors don't want their patients to know and for doing everything you can to make every pregnancy count.

Reading this book LITERALLY changed my life! After suffering through 2 miscarriages and being told that I would have to endure a third before my doctors would try any testing, I was enlightened by Dr. Semchyshyn. His book is informative and sensitive. I used the references in it to obtain the names of maternal-fetal medicine specialists in my area (a title which I had previously never heard of). I learned a tremendous amount about the possible causes of my problems and was able carry on an intelligent conversation with the maternal fetal medicine specialist whom I chose for my care. I felt empowered by becoming a well-informed patient and no longer felt at the mercy of the medical establishment with regards to testing. This book gave me information, hope and a sense that I was not alone. Testing revealed that I needed progesterone supplementation in the first trimester and I am now the happy mom of two beautiful, healthy boys.

I am a owner of the book and a patient of the doctor. I have found that the book offers explanations to problems, offers education of the signs and symptoms that other doctors just ignore and offers alternative instructions to helping your next pregnancy be healthy and explains how every mother-to-be has to become "literate" about all of her body signs and partner with her doctor to ensure a successful pregnancy. Most doctors just want to tell you what to do, have time for limited questions and quickly get you through their busy offices. This is one doctor who truly lives up to the high standards of professionalism he discusses in his book and always tries to answer any questions from patients or worried mother-to-be's with questions from all over the world. After following the instructions in this book and partnering with him during my last pregnancy to become pregnancy literate, I delivered a healthy baby boy in August 1998 and look forward to delivering another healthy child in Sept. of this year. All of his patients only have great things to say about him and the sincerity of his caring about making every pregnancy count. I wish all doctors would be trying to save every pregnancy as much as this doctor does.
