What is Birth Trauma?

Birth trauma refers to any experience during labor or delivery that causes intense fear, helplessness, or distress. Trauma can be physical, emotional, or both. Even if your birth “went according to plan,” feelings of loss of control, guilt, or fear can create lasting effects.

Unaddressed birth trauma can impact:

  • Your emotional well-being
