A study\u2010specific questionnaire and a previously evaluated well\u2010being questionnaire were used to assess the parents\u2019 psychological condition. Chi\u2010square analysis, Wilcoxon's signed rank test, Student's paired <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\u2010test, and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient were used to detect differences within the couples.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic> The parents had feelings of fear when they conceptualized the stillborn child, but with support from staff all but one couple held their child. The fathers had the same strong feelings of warmth, pride, tenderness, and grief as the mothers when they held the child. Most parents reported that the staff had treated them with understanding during the delivery. Three months after the event the mothers scored significantly higher on Negative Well\u2010being, lower on Positive Well\u2010being, and lower on General Well\u2010being than the fathers. A majority of the mothers, but no fathers, were on sick leave three months after the event.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic> Our study suggests that mothers and fathers need to be emotionally supported in the encounter with their stillborn child. The mothers\u2019 scoring of lower well\u2010being may be due to a stronger antenatal attachment to the child. This should, however, be a subject of further
