In 2009, Megan Joplin began photographing women, and sometimes their partners, who have suffered from or been directly affected by recurrent miscarriage or pregnancy loss. From her website: "Although it has been reported that almost 25% of pregnancies may end in loss or miscarriage, only about 1-2% of women experience the loss of an unborn child more than once. Miscarrying multiple times can be beyond painful, isolating and debilitating. This project is also a very personal one, Megan miscarried four times prior to having her son in the fall of 2008."
