Traumatic Birth Experiences

$129.99 Standard

Over 20% of women report a traumatic birth experience. An obstetrical emergency is just one factor that contributes to this experience for women. The experience can have far reaching effects – on the maternal-infant relationship and breastfeeding, as well as subsequent births. It may cause not only psychological stress, but also physical pain. Symptoms range from irritability to flashbacks. Women describe their experiences as degrading and inhumane. We need to acknowledge birth trauma and its effect on women and their families.
