When Megan Nix's second daughter, Anna, was born, she learned that Anna could be deaf and have lifelong delays due to an infection in the womb with cytomegalovirus, or CMV, a disease Megan unknowingly contracted from her toddler during pregnancy. While doctors warn pregnant women against the risks of lunch meats, sushi, and unpasteurized cheese, they don't mention that CMV is contagious in the saliva of 1 out of 3 toddlers. Anna’s diagnosis leads Megan to years of in-depth research, uncovering a shocking fact: obstetricians in the United States are advised not to mention CMV to women during their pregnancies. Remedies for Sorrow is a groundbreaking book will start a national conversation and will help women understand that avoiding CMV during pregnancy can be as second nature as abstaining from alcohol and caffeine.
