N2 - This is the timeframe during which couples hear the (most likely) diagnosis and have to make the decision to terminate or continue the pregnancy. This timeframe is often very short. During the course of only a few weeks, couples see a large number of health care professionals (HCPs) and have to learn to interpret new and complicated information. With this information, they, as (future) parents, have to make a decision with widespread and extensive consequences. In the Netherlands, couples are helped by a multidisciplinary team that determines the recommended option for perinatal management in the case of pregnancy continuation. In the second chapter, Wildschut and Bijma set out how such a multidisciplinary team operates, and how it supports couples in their decision toward terminating or continuing a pregnancy.
