perinatal palliative care

Perinatal palliative care is a specialized approach aimed at supporting families facing serious fetal conditions or complications during pregnancy. It involves a team of healthcare professionals who provide emotional, psychological, and spiritual support to parents, guiding them through difficult decisions about their baby's care. The goal is to enhance the quality of life for both the baby and the family, whether the baby is born alive or stillborn. This care can include counseling, pain management, and planning for the baby’s arrival, focusing on creating meaningful moments and memories during a challenging time.
