Sometimes birth trauma isn’t obvious at first.

You might leave the hospital, care for your baby, and tell yourself everything is fine.

But months — or even years — later, something still doesn’t sit right.

You might notice you avoid thinking or talking about the birth.
You feel a knot in your stomach when someone asks how it went.
You replay moments in your mind, wondering what you could have done differently.
You feel anger, guilt, or sadness when the memory comes back.

Or your body becomes tense when you enter hospitals or pregnancy spaces again.

These reactions are not signs that you’re weak.

They’re signs your nervous system may still be holding the experience.
And with the right support, healing is absolutely possible.

You can have a healthy baby and still have had a traumatic pregnancy,birth or post partum

You might look at your baby and feel overwhelming love…
and at the same time feel a heaviness when you think about the birth.

You might tell yourself you should just feel grateful.
You might minimise what happened.
Tell yourself it wasn’t that bad.
Remind yourself that others had it worse.

But trauma isn’t cancelled out by a healthy outcome.

If you felt frightened…
powerless…
unheard…
or out of control during your birth,
your nervous system may still be holding that experience.

You can feel deep love for your baby
and still feel pain about how they arrived.
Both things can exist together.

And if your birth still feels difficult to think about,
your experience matters.

“You can have a healthy baby and still have had a traumatic birth”
One of the biggest misconceptions about birth trauma is this:
People think if the baby is healthy, the parent should be fine.

But you can have a healthy baby and still have a traumatic birth.

If you felt frightened, powerless, unheard, or out of control… your nervous system may still be holding that experience.

Today I’m thinking about women everywhere 🌏

The ones carrying the invisible load.
The mental lists.
The emotional labour.
The quiet resilience it takes to hold families, work, relationships and life together.

So much of what women carry goes unseen.
And in many systems — healthcare, workplaces, services — women still fight to be heard, believed, and properly supported.

Good care matters.
Compassionate systems matter.
Listening to women matters.

When women are supported well, the ripple effect reaches families, communities and generations.
And when women have been through difficult or overwhelming experiences, recovery is possible.

Healing is possible.
Women are not “too much.”
Their voices matter.
Their wellbeing matters.

Today is a day to recognise the strength, complexity and humanity of women — not just in celebration, but in the ongoing work of creating systems and cultures that truly support them.

Do you still replay what happened?

Questioning yourself.
Wondering if you “should” be over it by now.
But while you’re doing all that…
You’re parenting.
Functioning.
Showing up.

❤️That deserves recognition.

Maybe today you:
Got out of bed when it felt heavy.
Paused instead of spiralled.
Asked for help.
Set a small boundary.
Made it through a trigger.
Booked the appointment.

That counts.
Perinatal trauma can leave you feeling like your body let you down.
Like you failed.
YOU DIDN’T.

➡️ You survived something overwhelming.
Healing isn’t loud.
It’s often quiet, ordinary bravery.

Try speaking to yourself the way you would to a close friend:
“That was hard.”
“You’re doing your best.”
“I’m proud of you for trying.”

Your nervous system listens to your inner voice.
Let it hear encouragement.

💦 Cold water on your face.

Hold something cold in your hands.
Run wrists under the tap.
Step into a cool shower if you can.

💦 It works because your body responds fast to temperature. 🌿

Cold stimulation can:
• Interrupt spiralling thoughts
• Reduce stress arousal
• Bring you out of freeze
• Anchor you back into your body

✋It’s immediate.
Physical.
Grounding.

You’re not “overreacting.”
Your nervous system is activated.
Sometimes regulation isn’t about talking it through.
It’s about changing your state.

A boundary is a love letter to your nervous system 🤍

➡️ Not a wall.
➡️ Not punishment.
➡️ Not rejection.

A boundary says:
“I’m listening to myself.”
“I notice when I feel overwhelmed.”
“I’m allowed to protect my calm.”

For many of us — especially after trauma — our nervous system has spent a long time on high alert.
Saying yes when we mean no. Pushing through when we’re exhausted.
Staying in conversations that feel activating.

A boundary is the moment we choose something different.

It might sound like:
• “I’m not available for that.”
• “I need to leave now.”
• “I’m not ready to talk about this.”
• “That doesn’t work for me.”

Every time you honour a boundary, your nervous system receives a powerful message:
➡️ You are safe.
➡️ You are paying attention.
➡️ You matter.

Boundaries aren’t selfish.
They are regulation in action.
And sometimes, the most healing sentence you can say is simply —
“No.” 🤍

Healing happens by feeling ❤️‍🩹
✨As you take the time to listen to your body and notice its responses, you become better able to recognise when there’s something or someone causing that response, and you can decide how you want to respond.

✨It involves sitting with the emotion that comes up, understanding it, and then deciding on a course of action. Showing yourself self compassion and accepting the emotions.

👉The initial step in regulating your nervous system is to learn and understand the cues and signals your body is sending you.

👉This may also include practicing mindfulness techniques such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or journaling, which can help you sit with the emotions that arise and better understand them.

⚠️ Postnatal depression isn’t just feeling sad - it’s a heavy, silent battle that many new parents face alone. Let’s break the stigma and start the conversation today ….

⚠️Post natal depression affects more than 1 in every 10 women within a year of giving birth
➡️ It can also affect fathers and partners.

🔺It’s important to seek help as soon as possible if you think you might be depressed, as your symptoms could last months or potentially get worse and ultimately can have an impact on you, your baby and your family.

💥Postnatal depression can start any time in the first year after giving birth.

➡️ Signs and symptoms may include:
💥a persistent feeling of sadness and low mood
💥lack of enjoyment and loss of interest in the wider world
💥lack of energy, motivation and feeling tired all the time
💥trouble sleeping at night and feeling sleepy during the day not related to baby’s sleep routine
💥difficulty bonding with your baby
💥withdrawing and isolating from contact with other people
💥problems concentrating and making decisions
💥frightening and intrusive thoughts – for example, about hurting yourself or baby.

If you have experienced a traumatic birth you may have PTSD and as it’s co morbid with postnatal depression a thorough assessment with your GP or psychiatrist would be beneficial.
and with have developed a resource which you can download called ‘I need help” to help you have a conversation about the way you are feeling - mentally, physically, and emotionally - with your GP, health visitor, midwife, social worker or another healthcare professional providing you with perinatal mental support, at any stage.
As with the right support you can make a full recovery.
