An MD on addressing a parent’s fear of making the wrong decision for their child.

A perinatal palliative care and Neonatologist, Dr. Natasha Henner, describes how she supports parents considering all the options and decisions for their (un)born child. She asks them about their history of decision-making, reminds them of the power of their ‘knowing’ (there’s no such thing as a wrong decision), tells them to ask for a PAUSE if they’re feeling pressure from an external person (provider, family member, social media group).
