Woman: “I have less chance of losing the child because of a
miscarriage, than of there being a problem”.
Three conditions favour fluid and continuous interactions in the
medico-scientific expertise frame. Firstly, women must be engaged in
this frame, of which they have some understanding, and be ready to
receive or ask for scientific and technical information to make or
confirm their decision. Secondly, it must be possible to contain the
emotions that are generally aroused when talking about the risks of
pregnancy. These two conditions are more easily met when women have been
informed of their risk prior to the consultation and have already begun
to think about it. Thirdly, there must be an opportunity for women to
interact with practitioners. This means that either women feel it is
legitimate to spontaneously interact or that practitioners encourage
them to do so.
