Abstract

The situation of women who lost their baby through miscarriage, premature delivery or perinatal death is a distressing experience, posing an emotional burden on the life of both such women and their close family. Often, the medical staff is emotionally affected by a prenatal death, yet they are likely to treat the patient and her baby like objects. The presented article is a review of available literature concerning psychological, social, family, and religious consequences of losing a baby before birth.

Keywords:
