Childbirth Trauma

Childbirth trauma refers to physical, emotional, or psychological injuries a mother may experience during or after giving birth. This can include physical injuries like tearing or pelvic damage, as well as emotional responses such as postpartum depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to a difficult or unexpected birth experience. The trauma can affect the mother’s ability to bond with her baby and impacts her overall well-being. Awareness and support from healthcare providers and loved ones are crucial for recovery and addressing any long-term effects of childbirth trauma.
