  • More about Life, Almost: Miscarriage, misconceptions and a search for answers from the brink of motherhood


Jennie Agg set out to understand why miscarriage remains such a profoundly misunderstood, under-researched, and under-acknowledged experience. Life, Almost documents Agg's path to motherhood and her search for answers, dismantling myths about our reproductive lives and offering a moving reflection on grief and love.

Publisher: Transworld Publishers Ltd


After experiencing four heartbreaking miscarriages with no apparent cause, Jennie Agg embarked on a mission to unravel the mysteries surrounding miscarriage, a phenomenon that remains profoundly misunderstood, under-researched, and under-acknowledged. Part memoir, part scientific investigation, Life, Almost chronicles Agg's journey to motherhood and her quest for answers. Through the lens of her fifth pregnancy, Agg dismantles the pervasive myths surrounding our reproductive lives, challenging the notion that miscarriage cannot be prevented, the societal norm of not sharing pregnancy news during the first three months, and the lack of understanding surrounding the initiation of labor. Drawing on pioneering research and insightful interviews with world-renowned experts, Life, Almost emerges as a groundbreaking book that will revolutionize our understanding of miscarriage and offer a poignant reflection on grief and love at the fringes of life as we currently comprehend it.
