Using Scripture and personal narrative, Courageously Expecting empathizes with and empowers women to face a pregnancy after loss with faith and courage, despite inevitable feelings of grief and fear that accompany life after losing a baby.

Pregnancy is widely regarded as the most joyful time in a woman's life, but for the mother who has experienced pregnancy loss, a subsequent pregnancy can feel like she's holding her breath and hoping for what she can't control. In Courageously Expecting, Jenny Albers meets women in this difficult season as someone who has also experienced the worst and cautiously hoped for the best. Through the telling of her own story, Scripture, and heartfelt prayer, she encourages readers to cling to faith in the face of fear and guides them to

  • cultivate hope when doubt weighs heavy;
  • realize that the past does not dictate the present or the future and that God creates a way in the wilderness of grief and loss;
  • flip the script on the what-if, worst-case-scenario narrative in their minds and learn to take their thoughts captive; and
  • find the courage to humble themselves and ask for and accept help from others.

Regardless of where readers are on their pregnancy after loss journey, Courageously Expecting is a companion to help them through the days when fear overshadows hope.

Jenny Albers is a wife, mother, writer, and semi-adult. She writes candidly about pregnancy loss and life after, as well as matters of motherhood and faith at jennyalbers.com. She never pretends to know it all, but rather seeks to encourage others with real (and not always pretty) stories of the hard, heart, and humorous parts of life. She's a work in progress, and while never all-knowing, she's (by the grace of God) always growing.

5.0 out of 5 stars So relatable
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2022

I loved this book! 17 weeks pregnant after a 2nd trimester loss, and I felt like I wrote the book myself. It was relatable, and uplifting at the same time. Honestly I couldn't put it down. I finished it quickly and now I go back to re read the scriptures I need to get through a difficult day or week. I highly suggest this for any momma pregnant after a loss.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Gift For Someone Expecting After A Loss
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2022
Verified Purchase
Jenny is honest and that is my favorite part about this book. If you are pregnant after a loss, I hope you have a friend who has been through this, sitting with you through the whole process and sharing in the pain and discomfort and all of the other weird feelings.

And even if you do have that friend, I hope you will also have this book because it is basically another friend, in Jenny, who has been through this. She is honest, raw, and open about all that is hard about this experience. I can imagine women grabbing this book off of their nightstand when they can't sleep in the middle of the night and finding they are not alone.

Sometimes, in really hard things, we feel unseen, and I really believe these words from Jenny are going to reach out to so many women and those women are going to hear "I see you," and they will believe it. Because Jenny is honest and, as I said, that's my favorite part about this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comforting and validating
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2022

Currently I am nine weeks pregnant after a miscarriage and six years of infertility.
This book is my saving grace! Not only does she hit on exactly the feelings, the fears and the emotions, but she alsowrites in a way that is so validating and she reframes it so beautifully to get you out of that negative mindset. I feel like this is better than therapy and I’m therapist lol
Very healing and has helped me have more peace in this pregnancy.

I highly recommend this book! One of the best pregnancy after loss books I have found. This book helped me not feel so alone in pregnancy after loss, like someone else has the same thoughts and feelings as I do. I will say it is very faith based speaking of God frequently, which didn't bother me at all but may not be everyone's cup of tea. Overall, absolutely loved this book!

This book was extremely helpful to me when pregnant after a stillbirth. I read it slowly throughout my pregnancy, especially when I was feeling anxious. I've gifted it to friends pregnant after loss and regularly recommend it to others!

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2022

Courageously Expecting is THE companion for every mom pregnant after loss. It describes so well how hard this season of life is and all the emotions involved—grief, anxiety, hope, joy. It makes loss moms feel seen while encouraging us to find joy and hope in the middle of the uncertainty or pregnancy after loss. Each chapter includes prompts to help us reflect and process the complexities of loss and pregnancy after loss, as well as prompts to help us connect with the baby we are carrying. Pregnancy after loss is hard and Courageously Expecting makes us feel less alone.

This book has gotten me through my miscarriage and subsequent pregnancy after loss. In the middle of the night when I can’t sleep, or when fear gripped my heart before a routine ultrasound, this book has been a source of reassurance that I am not alone in my feelings. Jesus saw Jenny through, even if just for me.
