A childbirth experience which was not what you hoped or planned for can often be traumatic.

Trauma itself can be triggered by both physical and emotional experiences.

Birthing trauma examples include but are not limited to scarring from forceps delivery, perineal tear, nerve damage, episiotomy injury, heavy or prolonged bleeding, infection, prolapsed or ruptured uterus and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Undoubtedly, the impact of any traumatic experience during childbirth will have a lasting impact on either the mother, the newborn child or both. Traumatic experiences are sometimes unavoidable and most treating clinicians do their best to ensure the child is safely delivered. Unfortunately, there are instances where substandard care results in a traumatic birthing experience which may have been otherwise avoidable.
