Counselling for women during pregnancy is an important part of the obstetrician's tasks. When the patient is a pregnant woman whose fetus is found through ultrasound scanning to suffer from a congenital malformation, counselling becomes even more important. Objective: The objectives of this article are to explore women's perceptions of the ultrasound scanning and their satisfaction with the doctor's advice and investigate the factors affectted to the quality of counseling. Method: The research was conducted in Hanoi Obstetric Hosital, using participant observation and in-depth interviews with women pregnant with an anomalous fetus. Result: The research documents that women are not always satisfied with the counselling provided. Several factors affect the quality of counseling, notably the lack of trained health staff and the overload of work at the hospital. Conclusion: The article concludes that the counselling provided does not live up to women's expectations and that this has to do with the qualifications of health staff and the organization of hospital services. On the basis of the research, some recommendations are proposed in order to improve the quality of counselling, diagnosis and decision-making when a fetal malformation occurs
