Birth Trauma Awareness Week is a reminder that birth isn’t only about how a baby arrives - it’s about how a parent experiences that moment too.
Trauma doesn’t have to involve an emergency, and no one gets to decide whether your experience was traumatic except you.
If your birth left you feeling frightened, unheard, powerless or changed, your feelings are valid.
Whether your baby is days old or decades old, healing is possible, and you don’t have to carry your story alone. 💜
If this resonates with you, know that you’re seen. And if you’re comfortable, I’d love you to share this so another parent knows they’re not alone.
