Held Together

In Held Together, Dr. Rebecca Thompson gathers her own medical and personal experiences alongside the stories of other women who faced complicated journeys to motherhood, including miscarriage, ectopic, and molar pregnancies.

The book explores how these narratives can be used to make meaning, improve clinical care, and support maternal mental health.

Thompson connects storytelling with medicine, providing discussion guides and resources for healthcare education and broader community conversations.

She draws on her work in family medicine and public health to advocate for better listening and systems that prevent diagnostic and care failures.

The book aims to serve both individuals who have experienced pregnancy complications and professionals seeking to improve compassionate, informed care.
