After stillbirth or early infant death, parents often query when they can try for another pregnancy. We conducted a national survey of US obstetricians to assess attitudes about optimal timing of next pregnancy and advice given to parents.
The study was an anonymous mail survey of 1500 randomly selected US obstetricians asking about physician experiences with perinatal death.
In all, 804 of 1500 obstetricians completed the survey for a 54% usable response rate. Two-thirds of respondents endorsed a waiting time <6 months for parents bereaved by stillbirth who desired another pregnancy.
Physicians in this national survey supported very short interpregnancy intervals for parents bereaved by perinatal death. Responses may reflect efforts to support parents emotionally while recognizing individuals vary in coping and clinical circumstances. However, this is a provocative finding since short intervals may confer greater fetal risks for poor outcome.
在胎儿死亡或婴儿早期死亡后，父母通常会询问何时可以再次尝试怀孕。我们对美国妇产科医生进行了一项全国性调查，以评估他们对下次怀孕最佳时间的态度以及给父母的建议。
这是一项针对 1500 名随机选择的美国妇产科医生的匿名邮件调查，询问他们在围产期死亡方面的经验。
在总共 1500 名妇产科医生中，有 804 名完成了调查，有效应答率为 54%。三分之二的受访者支持在因胎儿死亡而悲痛的父母希望再次怀孕的情况下，等待时间<6 个月。
这项全国性调查中的医生支持因围产期死亡而悲痛的父母在怀孕间隔时间非常短。这些反应可能反映了在承认个人在应对和临床情况方面存在差异的同时，从情感上支持父母的努力。然而，这是一个有争议的发现，因为较短的间隔可能会给胎儿带来更差的结果的风险。
