The birth of a baby comes with immense joy and hope for a new life.  But for the mother and sometimes partners, that birth journey was filled with anxiety, fear and trauma.

​

Current research show that 30% births leave the mother, partner or family in a state of trauma, experiencing anxiety, panic attacks and PTSD.

​

Of those 1.5-9% suffer PTSD.

​

Here are some of the signs of PTSD

Hyper vigilance

Tearfulness

Anxiety

Panic attacks

Anger

Unable to think clearly

Tiredness 

Unable to rest

Overly tidy

Feeling of disconnection

Still healing from surgery or birth

Unable to look at the baby or hold your baby

Unable to bond with baby

Reoccuring thoughts

Flash-backs

Not feeling heard

Scared for yourself and your baby

​

This is the time you need to seek help!
