Welcome to Returning to Birth! I share the amazing ways childbirth can teach us more about ourselves. ALL women deserve a positive and empowering birth experience, and I’m here to help make that happen.
All in Trauma
Cervical exams during pregnancy can be uncomfortable and even painful, but when you are also a survivor of abuse, it can get a little complicated. You have options!
Around 30% of new moms report their birth experience as traumatic. It could be physically traumatic from an emergency situation or unwanted C-Section or emotional traumatic. Recovering from childbirth and taking care of a newborn is HARD even when everything goes perfectly so how are you supposed to do that after a traumatic birth? It’s possible! Head over to the blog to read all about it. #traumarecovery #traumaticbirth #newborn
How my trauma history impacted my “perfect” birth and why it doesn’t have to for you too. There is a strong connection between prior trauma/abuse and childbirth so you have to be prepared. No one wants their abuse history to hijack their birth experience. #abusesurvivor #traumainformed #childbirth
