Footprints on My Heart is a personal memoir of a childbirth educator's experiences with miscarriage and then pregnancy after loss. The author experienced a second trimester miscarriage in 2009, followed by an early miscarriage in 2010. While initially exploring the many complex reactions and feelings towards miscarriage, including the acknowledgement of miscarriage as a *birth event,* the memoir then explores the complicated emotional terrain of pregnancy after loss as the author finally experiences another successful full-term pregnancy. Includes an appendix with material and information about physically coping with miscarriage, planning for a home miscarriage, and recommended reading.
