Birth Trauma

Birth trauma is the physical and/or psychological injury caused to the birthing person and non birthing parents. It is as a result of a negative birth or experiences related to childbirth which can result in ongoing overwhelming distressing emotions or physical problems which negatively impact their health and wellbeing.
