Abstract

Historically, preconceptional health promotion has been recommended for all prospective parents to improve perinatal outcomes. Preconceptional health promotion and interconceptional counseling may be even more beneficial for parents who have had previous perinatal losses. Perinatal loss can be devastating, with long-term effects on subsequent pregnancies and children. A theoretical framework for interconceptional counseling after perinatal loss needs to be developed. Interconceptional counseling can give couples important information to improve outcomes, acknowledge fears and anxieties, evaluate genetic risks, facilitate grieving, and explore attachment and parenting issues.
