From Diagnosis to Delivery: What to Expect When the Unexpected Happens During Your Pregnancy

How do you move forward after you receive an unexpected diagnosis for your baby? How do you deal with the devastation and chaos? Most importantly, how do you prepare for the range of possibilities you now face? From Diagnosis to Delivery is a compassionate, invaluable tool for parents who are facing a life-limiting diagnosis for their unborn child. Beverly’s own journey through the diagnosis of Trisomy 18 for her daughter Verity gives her a unique perspective into the heartache, challenges, grief, and joy surrounding the pregnancy, delivery, and often (but not always) loss of these rare and beautiful children. Beverly gently encourages advocacy for parents who need to have their voices heard as they navigate a pregnancy with a child they are often told is “incompatible with life.”\nFrom Diagnosis to Delivery helps parents navigate everything on this journey, from receiving the initial diagnosis, finding a medical team that supports the wishes of the parent, advocating after delivery, facing loss, and providing for a medically fragile child. Beverly writes in a conversational tone, putting invaluable information and tools into the hands of the parents who love their children unconditionally.
