Abstract
The death of an infant during a pregnancy is profoundly traumatic, both for the parents and for the involved healthcare professionals. Most research focuses on the impact of antenatal stillbirth with very little research examining the specific impact an intrapartum fetal death has on obstetricians. The aim of this study was to provide an in-depth qualitative exploration of the attitudes and responses that Irish obstetricians have following direct involvement with an intrapartum fetal death.
