Recent research shows that around 30,000 women in the UK experience birth trauma each year.
This can be devastating at a time when you imagine yourself to be full of joy and happiness.
Often the difficulties of parents are overlooked and their emotions minimised during this time, leaving them feeling unheard, dismissed and reluctant to seek further help, this can often lead to more feelings of despair.
Symptoms may include:
* Strong uncomfortable feelings when recalling the memory.
* Nightmares or flashbacks
* A feeling of anxiety or irritability
* Tearfulness
* Avoidant behaviour
