title: [Dealing with a "different" child in the delivery room].
abstract: Maternity ward staff face complex situations, handling not only births, but sometimes also deaths. When a serious condition is revealed during the prenatal diagnosis, an abortion may be requested, but other parents choose to keep their disabled child. In such cases, healthcare professionals must support parents in learning about this "different" child.
