We conducted a retrospective study by telephone interview (10 to 22 months later) of 26 families who had experienced a perinatal death. Six of 26 mothers had a prolonged grief reaction (12 to 20 months). Those mothers with a surviving twin or subsequent pregnancy less than five months following the death were at higher risk for a prolonged grieving period than were those without subsequent pregnancy or one more than six months later. Half of the families obtained information about the cause of death and risk of recurrence only during hospitalization; subsequent contact, weeks to months later, provided additional information for the other half. Twenty-two of 26 mothers met predetermined criteria for having an adequate understanding of cause of death and risk of recurrence; four of 26 knew neither. Sixty percent of the mothers who had adequate understanding and who had no prolonged grief response felt totally dissatisfied or only partially satisfied with the information they received and the way they received it. Follow-up contact by phone or in person increased understanding significantly; mothers who had had in-person follow-up were more likely to be satisfied with the information they received.
