TO HELP HEAL EMOTIONALLY FROM A TRAUMATIC BIRTH VISIT HEALINGYOURSELFWITHIN.org CHOOSE ACCELERATED HEALING OR EMOTIONAL RELEASEIt’s #BirthTraumaAwarenessWeek & we are going to focus on prevention of and support for this phenomena. Let’s be clear. A healthy baby is NOT all that matters. We hear this message regularly, but what does it mean? Well, maternity services globally often focus primarily on the safety and well-being of the baby. And they sometimes do this in a patronising way. Let’s keep repeating the message that women matter. Birthing people matter. We all matter, and physical and psychological safety is as important for the mother as well as her infant. As midwives, doulas, maternity support workers and obstetricians - what we do and how we do it, what we say and how we say it - can make a woman’s birth experience either transforming or harrowing. We have that potential impact. This post demonstrates the fact that women are influenced by the words & actions we use. Sometimes we don’t realise what we’re saying.
