Pregnancy After Loss: A day-by-day plan to reassure and comfort you

Gave to a friend helped her a lot during this terrible time thank you

I am a mother to 3 beautiful babies. My son is on earth with me, while my 2 daughters are in heaven. I downloaded this book after following Zoe on Instagram. I knew women suffered losses, but having a healthy baby... you don't think you will ever know this pain. I unfortunately do. 5 months after having my son, we found out we were pregnant again, to say we were elated is an understatement, at almost 10 weeks, our daughter died. The words "there is no heartbeat" are forever burned into my heart. I have a beautiful baby boy at home and now my dead daughter inside me that I have to choose how she leaves me. The days following a loss of a baby are heart wrenching....2 months later I fell pregnant and started reading this book. The amount of fear and anxiety you have carrying another child after losing one takes your breath away....Zoe gives you the things you need, understanding, compassion, support. I never felt more alone being pregnant again though I'm surrounded by support.... but with this book, I found strength. I read words that were so deep in my heart I didn't realize I felt that way until Zoe formed the words my heart couldn't say. My husband noticed the difference right away, i stopped Google and i started breathing. I found a peace within myself and a grace for my body. If you've suffered a loss, even if you're not ready to try again, I highly recommend this book, Zoe gives you so much love and support. Thank you Zoe. Your words are so powerful, raw and true.

I found this book at 38 weeks pregnant after following Zoe for nearly a year on social media. Zoe encouraged loss Moms to reach out and share their story. She responded to me personally, and encouraged me to try this book. Week 38-39 was absolutely the hardest for me after losing my son to preterm birth last year. The tools Zoe provides in this book were easy to incorporate and truly helped me stay calm while waiting for the safe arrival of my daughter. That day did come, and I am so thankful. Zoe has provided not only a safe place for women to feel understood after loss, but also truly helpful tools to face the challenges of pregnancy after loss. Thank you!

I bought this book before I became pregnant as was told this would help me with my anxiety in trying to conceive. We had sadly lost a baby through TMFR and had been trying desperately ever since (the worst thing they can say to you after you’ve lost a child is, you’ll be pregnant before you know it!!) and read that this book helps with dealing with the guilt, anxiety and stress of baby loss. And it was absolutely true. I read the first few chapters before the journal part and they really helped settle my nerves.I tucked the book away in my drawer until I found out I was pregnant and now, at 9 weeks and 5 days gestation, this is my saving grace every day. I feel like my anxiety has really settled and that Zoe completely understands the vulnerability and sheer terror you feel that something may happen or that you don’t deserve to get pregnant again.For anyone suffering any form of baby loss I would absolutely recommend this book. If you’ve had to TMFR then firstly, I am so sorry that you’ve been through something so horrendous but secondly, buy this book as the stepping stone to getting the support you need. Well done Zoë for this much needed book for sadly a lot of women.

This book is a must for anyone experiencing pregnancy after loss. After losing a baby at 16 weeks pregnant, Zoe's other books supported me through those emotions. I am pregnant again, and this book has come out just in time to guide me through the minefield of emotions that no one ever warns you about. Pregnancy after loss is such a different experience to pregnancy having never experienced a loss, and I'm so glad I have this book to stay by my side for the next 7 months. Zoe's story is touching and heartbreaking, and I'm so grateful that she's poured her heart and soul into helping others through the same situations. I particularly like the week by week journaling aspect. If, like me, you were scared to even start the journal for fear of something going wrong again, Zoe advised me to keep the journal regardless, as it will serve as a memory of this pregnancy, no matter the outcome.

I bought this for a friend who had lost her first baby at birth 3 years ago. She went on to have a second baby which was a hugely stressful pregnancy and sadly this book had not been published to help her back then but she did deliver a healthy baby. She is now pregnant again and the fear does not leave you but this time I bought her Zoe's book and it has been such a help to her in the 20 weeks into her pregnancy so far. She says each time she has a fear or the Dr suggests something she hears as a negative she can find a place in the book that addresses that and it helps to alleviate the fear. NO book can make a pregnancy fearless after such a terrible loss but it can go a long long way to help a subsequent pregnancy not feel so daunting.

After losing our baby to miscarriage in January I was desperate to be pregnant again but had no idea how to face the fears those weeks would bring. We were blessed to get pregnant straight away and I immediately brought this book. Having something to focus on daily got me through those dark first weeks. And seeing our second baby wriggling on a private scan was one of the most profound moment of my life after 3 scans with our first lost that were full of fear.This book is essential for everyone who is brave enough to navigate pregnancy whilst grieving. It is generous, empowering and for me it got me through those early weeks full of such uncertainty.And if like me you were afraid to even buy the book, Zoe writes that should anything happen again, it is a beautiful way to remember a baby so loved, for me, that gave me the courage to fully lean in.I’m now 28 weeks and although I’m still processing my first loss, I’m so grateful that this book gave me a positive frame work to embrace my second pregnancy.

Having suffered two miscarriages the past year - I found this book while searching on Amazon for any hope at the end of two very distressing times in my life. I thought I would order this for the future - however I had found myself pregnant again - and the book arrived the day I found out, a sign! (As my husband said!)Understandably this third pregnancy started with what was filled with worry and very anxious times, but every time I felt like I was losing control with how I was feeling, I’d pick up this book and read and write, pouring my heart out while reading other people’s stories (featured in the book).This book has really helped me through these times so far and as you can see in the photo there is a page where you colour in the week as it goes by. (Which I find is also very therapeutic!)I have since let my bereavement midwife know about this book. She has purchased it and is recommending it to the ladies who have unfortunately been through heartbreaking times also.I would recommend ladies to buy this book, we have fallen on hard times in the past but trust me, this will get you through your pregnancy - at the end, having our rainbow babies.
