Birth trauma stories
If you’ve been through a traumatic birth, it can help to read other people’s stories. Over the past few years, many women, and a few men, have kindly shared their stories with us.
Lizzie’s story
After a traumatic first birth with a 3b tear and operation I was petrified of giving birth again. I opted for an elective c section to try and get more control. My elective c section went badly wrong.
Daisy’s story
My partner and I decided to start trying for a baby and were very lucky to fall pregnant quite quickly. I had morning sickness but I was never sick – a very normal and healthy pregnancy. I never made a birth plan to save disappointment and my midwife fully supported this.
