Many women (including myself) have suffered birth trauma. Birth trauma takes many forms, it is frightening and can turn what should be a joyous time into a painful and traumatic experience for parents. In some cases, mothers and babies are left with injuries and some might be lifelong or even result in still birth.
Do you have increased anxiety, flashbacks, difficulty bonding with your baby and feelings of helplessness amongst others. Counselling can help you explore your thoughts and feelings and recognize the thoughts that are distressing you and affecting you emotionally and impacting you on a day-to-day basis, it can enable you start changing those thought patterns.
October is Erb's Palsy Awareness Week. Erb's palsy is a condition most often caused during childbirth due to injury to the nerves that control the arm.
