Patients and their partners who receive a diagnosis of a fetal abnormality must make a challenging decision regarding pregnancy termination or continuing the pregnancy. So many painful decisions have to be made so rapidly when ending a wanted pregnancy (EWP). Patients who terminate a pregnancy because of a fetal abnormality are likely to experience significant emotional distress compared to that for patients who have pregnancy loss. Advances in techniques for prenatal testing now enable clinicians to diagnose many fetal abnormalities during pregnancy, genetic screening, and prenatal diagnostic testing. This is available for some conditions during the first trimester as well, however, most fetal abnormalities are diagnosed in the second trimester. In certain instances, such procedures may be indicated due to maternal health risks, as well as in the unfortunate circumstance of a fetal demise.
