Body image and sexual health in people who have lost a child in pregnancy, at birth or neonatally

Participants from the Danish "Life after the Loss" cohort (bereaved between gestational week 14 and one month after birth) completed a survey on body image and sexual health, including rating scales on perceived body image, the Body Image…
Grief reactions the first year after termination of pregnancy due to fetal anomaly
cohort at 1, 7, and 13 months post-loss, stratified by gender. Adaptive grief reactions were assessed using the Inventory of Daily Widowed Life, symptoms of prolonged grief disorder (PGD) with the Prolonged Grief Disorder Checklist, and pregnancy loss-specific reactions with the Perinatal Grief Scale. Parents showed high initial grief, followed by a significant decline in grief scores across the three time-points. Heterogeneity was observed, with…

In a hermeneutic analysis of Qualitative data, generated in a study on new parent…

We found that most parents experienced continuing bonds. However, they differed by type of loss. Parents losing their child due to termination of pregnancy or miscarriage experienced bonds less frequently and had the least intense grief reaction. Parents losing their child postpartum experie…
