Brief Summary

Fetal death in utero and the psychological and professional impact it could have on the midwifery student in training. Fetal death in utero corresponds to the spontaneous cessation of cardiac activity, from 14 weeks of amenorrhea. For a large proportion of midwifery students, fetal death in utero is a situation encountered in the field. Despite the theoretical courses, a student does not expect to encounter this type of situation during the internship: it is delicate for both the supervising caregivers and the student. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the impact that this situation could have on the midwifery student, both psychologically and in terms of their professional project.
