Findings of the retrospective questionnaire survey with 45 mothers who experienced perinatal loss show fairly higher residual anxiety scores 1-2 years after the death than it can be experienced in the case of normal population. The results suggest that the Hungarian clinical practice hardly helps the mothers' requested grief work. More than the half of women satisfied with the support from the medical staff, but 17 mothers did not get any kind of advice with respect of the next pregnancy. Nineteen women saw her died baby, while this opportunity was not offered for the others. The risks from the strengthened self-accusation of the mothers and from the "replacement child" syndrome are argued as well.
