I’m the doting mother of two wonderful children. Maddie and Sam are absolute blessings. After losing four babies and fighting to create my wonderful family, I wrote 'To Full Term' because I wanted to share my own story of loss and recovery, and of both the hurt and the hope in between. Too many women suffer loss in silence, feeling isolated, and like no one understands the anguish of pregnancy loss. I do understand, and my goal is to bring comfort to others, as well as hope.
There's more about the book at http://www.tofullterm.com
I also founded http://www.preventpregnancyloss.org to raise awareness about the toll of loss, and encourage families to seek answers after loss. Sadly, many losses are never explained. But others are- or could be- if thorough testing were regularly offered to women after loss. But it's not. I lost four babies before being diagnosed with two treatable conditions. With treatment I'm now blessed with two amazing kids. I feel lucky- but I can't stop thinking about how many other women are in the middle of a story like mine, wondering how it's going to end.
If you're struggling to recover after loss, I hope you're surrounded with love and support. And if you're pregnant after loss(es) I wish you moments of peace between the fear that often overpowers the joy and hope of pregnancy.
Warm regards,
Darci Klein
