Paperback £7.50

One woman's account of the difficulties, tragedies and joys of pregnancy. Having suffered a number of miscarriages Lysanne and her partner Pers nevertheless faced each subsequent preganancy positively albeit with some trepidation. All their worst fears were confirmed when Lysanne was diagnosed with an Ectopic pregnancy - a condition affecting around one in eighty pregnancies and killing between 5 and 8 women in the UK each year.

This is their story of the highs and lows, the relationship that got them through, the way in which it touched all aspects of their life and finally the miracle of parenthood. It is a frank account of the emotional rawness, sense of loss and sliding self-esteem made easier to bear with the help of others who recognised and understood what she was going through. Having suffered an ectopic myself it made me laugh and it made me cry so I made my husband read it too. "Small Sparks of Life" will help those who have personal experience of Ectopics and provides a useful insight to anyone whose life has been touched by an Ectopic Pregnancy.

Currently one in six couples experiences problems while trying to have a baby, recent estimates suggest that in ten years time it will be as many as one in three. Women from all around the world have generously shared their own stories of success after infertility, including ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage, in the hope that they will help support other women through their difficult journey to parenthood. Even though doctors said it was nigh impossible, or family begged them to stop for the sake of their health, all the women here have gone through the struggles of infertility, and found their family, one way or another, at the other end of the rainbow.
