Web-based resources for health care providers and women following pregnancy loss.
Experiencing perinatal loss can leave women and families feeling distressed, overwhelmed, and with many questions, while health care providers often lack time and may not be prepared to provide all the answers. This paper highlights the rationale for use and benefits of the Internet with this population and outlines an effort to review and select reliable Internet resources containing valid and substantial content specific to pregnancy loss. A summary table is included for distribution to women and providers.
