Study summary

Every year in France, around 7,000 children are born without life, following a medical termination of pregnancy (IMG), fetal death in utero (FDIU) or premature delivery ("late miscarriage"). For families affected by perinatal bereavement, the pregnancy that follows this silent birth is a moment apart, between anguish and guilt, joy and apprehension. The aim of this research project is to improve the understanding of what women go through during the pregnancy that follows, with a view to proposing a practical tool for the professionals who take care of them, in order to improve and personalize their follow-up.
