Summary

This study aims to improve the way doctors counsel families when a baby may be born extremely early (between 22 and 25 weeks of pregnancy). Researchers will train doctors in better communication skills and then ask parents about their knowledge, satisfaction, and anxiety after counseling. About 460 pregnant women and their partners will take part to see if the training helps families feel more informed and supported.
