Pregnancy Accompanied by Palliative Care

Jennifer S Linebarger. Perspect Biol Med. 2020.

Abstract

When prenatal screening reveals serious concerns for a baby, pediatric palliative care teams can help. Such teams meet with pregnant women and their families to build rapport, explain the medical concerns, delineate options, and outline anticipated outcomes. Throughout, palliative care teams strive for families to feel respected and supported in their grief.
