Whether you're a parent, expecting, or simply interested in psychology, this video aims to raise awareness and foster understanding around this crucial subject.

Birth trauma can lead to significant mental health challenges, including PTSD, anxiety, and depression for mothers and their partners. This is a topic that's often overlooked, but it's essential to acknowledge the profound impact it can have on families.

The experience of a traumatic birth can be a life-altering event, leaving a lasting impression on a person's emotional well-being. It's crucial to recognize that birth trauma is not just about the physical aspects of childbirth, but also the emotional and psychological toll it can take.

Furthermore, the effects of birth trauma can be far-reaching, affecting not only the individual who experienced it but also their loved ones and their relationships.

Birth Trauma

There are different types of birth trauma, but in every case of birth trauma, at some point in the lead up to the birth, during the birthing process or during post birth care, the woman has felt traumatized.

We often think about birth trauma as something that has gone wrong in labor or birth, but it comes down to how a woman feels about her experience in her labor and birth.

She may have felt afraid or scared or fearful for her safety of her baby's safety.

She may have felt unheard or unsupported.

No matter what has caused the trauma, it's not okay that she has had to experience this.

In our interview with Perinatal Psychologist, Rebecca Black, we learn so much about birth trauma and how to be more sensitive and supportive to women in their pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum experience.

Let's allow all women to feel heard, supported, nurtured, and empowered through their birth experience and into motherhood.

This is a topic that needs to be shared, forward this on to whoever you think may need to hear this.
