Determinants of childbearing intentions among pregnant women with a suspected fetal congenital heart disease
CONCLUSION: Fertility expectations among Saudi mothers are more likely to be impacted by the personal experience and judgment of own pregnancy fitness, while no significant impact of fetal risks and events. This demonstrates a certain level of autonomy balanced with deeply rooted religious ethics yet combined with a lack of awareness about fetal and maternal risks associated with advanced maternal age and consanguinity. We emphasize the unmet need of education and family planning.PMID:37979551 | DOI:10.1016/j.midw.2023.103875
