Summary

"This book describes and affirms the wide range of experiences and emotions that can follow a life-limiting prenatal diagnosis. It offers encouragement and practical ideas for moving forward, including guidance for decision-making, strategies for coping with the remainder of your pregnancy, and ideas for nurturing and being with your baby, before and after birth and death. This book also describes the concept of perinatal hospice and palliative care, which is a well-established way of supporting parents whose babies are expected to die before or shortly after birth"--, Provided by publisher
