Time to be heard, time to heal
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!
