Description

Rachel has lost six pregnancies-but a London medical center is giving her a fighting chance at motherhood. This program records a year inside the Recurrent Miscarriage Clinic at St. Mary's Hospital, a facility renowned for its state-of-the-art treatment. Underscoring the cautious optimism that the clinic has inspired in thousands of couples, the program details pregnancy planning and care for Rachel and two other women who are painfully familiar with miscarriage-Naomi, whose blood tests indicate the presence of a harmful antibody and therefore a possible treatment, and Joanne, whose tests reveal no problem and hence, no solution. Drug-based and surgical procedures pioneered at St. Mary's are explored.
