Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)<\/a>, characterized by deep anxiety and discomfort in relation to themselves, their baby and their environment. It is very important to address and treat birth trauma in order to improve the quality of life of affected women.<\/p>\n\nImpact of Traumatic Birth<\/h4>\n\n
Sheila Kitzinger, founder of the British support network Birth Crisis, describes the impact of traumatic birth. Women feel powerless and out of control during a crucial event in their lives. Initially they may feel relieved that it is all over, but then experience a mix of gratitude and a sense of being violated.<\/p>\n\n
Postpartum PTSD Symptoms<\/h4>\n\n
Scenes of childbirth replay in their minds like a continuous video. They suffer nightmares and flashbacks of the trauma. They are often told that they \u201cexpected something else,\u201d which adds to their suffering. These women lose confidence in their bodies and breastfeeding becomes a struggle.<\/p>\n\n
‘High-Tech’ Treatment Cases<\/h4>\n\n
The article describes severe cases of women traumatised by \u201chigh-tech\u201d treatments such as oxytocin, episiotomy and fetal monitoring. However, some women experience similar symptoms even under favourable circumstances. This may be due to their relationship with their body or unmet expectations.<\/p>\n\n
Feelings of Failure and Accompaniment<\/h4>\n\n
The feeling of failure as a mother and woman for not having the birth of her dreams can be devastating. The lack of support from her partner can also have an influence, increasing the feeling of vulnerability.<\/p>\n\n
Quality of Life Affected<\/h4>\n\n
Victims of traumatic events suffer greatly and their daily quality of life is severely affected. They are particularly vulnerable to reminders of the traumatic event in their environment.<\/p>\n\n
Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n
Traumatic childbirth can leave deep emotional scars. Recognizing and addressing these issues is essential to improving the quality of life of affected women.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
