Improving support for pregnant women expecting children with disabilities
MPs Ida Lindtveit Røse and Erlend Svardal Bøe propose establishing a national support and guidance service with peer counselling for pregnant women expecting children with disabilities. The proposers argue that parents in this situation often experience interactions with healthcare that do not present a balanced picture, and may face pressure toward termination. They point to recommendations in NOU 2023:13 on the need for quality peer support and guidance.
