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.
