Rating:  - Thank You!
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.
Rating: - The book that offers answers
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Life changing!!
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Gives explanations and instructions
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 ... Read More
Rating:  - How to prevent miscarriage: lie down and take progesterone
With one ectopic pregnancy and two miscarriages, I am looking forward to a healthy pregnancy next time. But it won't be thanks to this book. The title is misleading. The main advise is: when you feel or think something is wrong: see your gynecologist, go to bed and try progesterone. After reading te book I can only conclude: there are no ways of preventing a miscarriage. And his so called 97.5% succes rate for bringing healthy babies to term in his high risk pregnancy, is an absolute mysterie to me.
