Are you struggling with the effects of birth trauma?
Right now, you might be experiencing:
- Persistent Rumination: Frequent flashbacks about the experiences you went through during labor and birth.
- Distress from Triggers: Feeling upset when exposed to anything related to labor and birth, including hearing others’ stories.
- Disconnect from Your Body: A sense of distrust and disconnect from your own body.
- Mood Disorders: Depression and anxiety that have emerged since your labor and birth experience.
- Memory Gaps: Inability to remember parts of your experience, leaving you feeling confused and frustrated.
You’ve started to recognize how unresolved birth trauma is impacting your life:
- Desire for Positive Memories: You want to remember your experience with some positivity, not just despair.
- Fear of Future Births: You can’t imagine going through labor and birth again, despite wanting another child.
- Avoidance of Reminders: You’re avoiding photos, videos, and conversations about your and your child’s labor and birth experience.
- Negative Mood Impact: Your mood has been negatively affected, with anxiety and depression that didn’t exist before your labor and birth experiences.
- Isolation and Shame: You feel isolated from others and carry shame and guilt for how you feel about your labor and birth experience.
You’re wondering…
- If my baby and I survived, is it still birth trauma? Does my experience count?
- My baby didn’t survive. Can I ever make these feelings go away?
- Will I have to talk about all the details and relive it again? Why should I do that?
- Can I get help from someone who hasn’t also had a traumatic birth experience?
You’re longing for…
- Peace with Your Experience: The ability to feel at peace with your labor and birth experience, even if it was different from what you imagined.
- Comfort in Sharing: The ability to talk about your birth and labor experience without distress.
- Ease Around Triggers: The ability to look at photos of pregnant others, hear about birth, and see newborns without distress.
