I Had A Miscarriage by Jessica Zucker, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

When Jessica Zucker was sixteen weeks pregnant, she had a miscarriage while at home, alone. Instructed to bring her baby to the hospital in a plastic bag, Zucker texted her husband, her family, anyone she could, while en route: I HAD A MISCARRIAGE." With these words, and the articulation of her painful journey soon to follow, she would start a movement. Approximately one in four pregnancies end in miscarriage, and one in 100 result in stillbirth. In this half memoir, half manifesto, Zucker documents her mission to break open the silence, stigma, and shame surrounding pregnancy loss. Drawing from Zucker's expertise as a psychologist specializing in reproductive and maternal health, I Had a Miscarriage is a heartbreaking, hopeful book about loss, recovery, and honesty around birthing bodies-an urgent reminder, in these trying times, of the power of speaking openly and truthfully about one's experiences." | I Had A Miscarriage by Jessica Zucker, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
