Men’s lived experiences of perinatal loss: A review of the literature.

This review explored the current literature (studies) on men’s experiences of perinatal loss. Perinatal loss can have negative implications for men’s psychological and social well‐being. Across the studies men had various levels of attachments to the pregnancy, influencing their emotional responses to the loss. Men perceived their primary role as being a supporter to their partners but received limited support themselves. Men often reported that their safe and trusting attitudes toward pregnancy had forever changed.
