Trigger warning. Birth trauma can happen to anyone regardless of job role, birth mode or birth type. Over the years I’ve had conversations with women who felt traumatised by their home births, planned caesarean births, unplanned caesarean births, instrumental births, hospital births, birth centre births, induced labour or spontaneous labours. Birth trauma can be treated so the physical & mental symptoms are managed & I would recommend anyone who feels this way speaks up & seeks the help you need.
