Psychological outcome in women undergoing termination of pregnancy for ultrasound‐detected fetal anomaly in the first and second trimesters: a pilot study

Abstract

Psychological morbidity following termination of pregnancy for fetal anomaly is prevalent and persistent. Our data suggest that in the short term (as assessed at a 6-week follow-up), second-trimester termination may be more stressful compared with first-trimester termination.
