What this trial studies

This observational study evaluates the Rainbow Clinic model, which provides specialized antenatal care for women who have previously experienced stillbirth, neonatal death, or late termination of pregnancy. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of this model in reducing anxiety and improving outcomes in subsequent pregnancies. By analyzing the care provided at Rainbow Clinics established across the UK, the research seeks to understand the impact of tailored support on maternal mental health and pregnancy outcomes. The initiative is based on previous findings that highlight the need for specialized support to mitigate the psychological effects of perinatal loss.
