title: By any other name: feticide.
abstract: This reflection is an anonymised account of a feticide which I witnessed as a second year midwifery student. Having cared for this woman I found myself unable to put it out of my mind until I wrote it down and asked my mentor and a lecturer to help me debrief. It describes the events themselves as well as my feelings, and uses the Gibbs reflective cycle (Gibbs 1988) to demonstrate insights into my own learning and future development as a midwife.
