It’s Birth Trauma awareness week is this week 💔
Cleo turns 6 next week which means it is the anniversary of the start of my birth trauma journey.
From being so scared to set foot in the hospital, flashbacks and depression to having Brody and now being able to talk about trauma openly, this week is the time to talk about Birth Trauma, share experiences and show other people that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Birth trauma is something that will always be part of me. It is PTSD. We may call it birth trauma but at the end of the day, it is PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Almost 6 years later and even though things are better. It isn’t gone and there are times when I still struggle. I went through hell and back when I was pregnant with Brody. I had to have therapy and I even had to go in the operating theater in the hope that it would help.
It has been hard to come to terms with and I imagine, it will be something that I am processing for a long time to come.
Talking about it not only helps myself but it may help other people too ❤️

Thank you for sharing this! Birth trauma is definitely something not talked about enough and it’s so real!
