RESULTS: The general psychological patterns of women’s experiencing of several consequential steps of late pregnancy termination were revealed: during the primary diagnosis, in the decision-making process, during the feticide procedure, during delivery, and in the postpartum period. The tasks of psychological support were formulated; the types of reasons for termination decision were described; the key influence of the psychological status of the fetus on the subjective character of experience was determined.
