Abstract
Pregnancy is typically viewed as a normal, joyous time for families. Most expectant parents have reasonable assumptions that the pregnancy will progress smoothly from conception through birth and the eventual homecoming with the newborn (Snyder, 1979). However, for high-risk antepartum patients and their families, that Norman Rockwell-like scenario may be interrupted by long hospital stays, confinements to bed rest, and complications before the baby's birth. Providing care for these families offers both a challenge and an opportunity for perinatal nurses.
