The study looked at how the Perinatal Grief Intensity Scale (PGIS) helps understand the feelings of sadness and grief in women who lost babies before birth and are now pregnant again.
It found that stronger feelings of grief are linked to higher levels of anxiety, depression, stress, and problems in relationships with partners.
The researchers believe the PGIS could be a helpful tool for doctors and health workers to support moms going through this tough time after losing a baby.
