Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In France, according to current legislation, termination of pregnancy could be performed without any upper gestational age limit, if there is a strong probability that the fetus will be affected by a particularly severe and incurable disease. When there is a lethal fetal diagnosis most of parents wish to terminate their pregnancy. However, and despite some medical resistance a few of them do wish to continue pregnancy. In these situations, palliative care seems to be a good way to prepare to welcome the child and surround him until death.

The aim of the study is to describe parents' experience for a better understanding and a better care.
