There are lots of reasons why people may feel their birth was a difficult or traumatic experience. Some people experience complications before or after the birth such as an assisted birth, perineal tears or problems with pain management in labour. Other people may have had an apparently normal birth but feel disappointed or distressed. This may be because they feel they weren’t listened to, felt like they had no control over what was happening, or felt they weren’t treated with respect or dignity.

​

Birth is a very personal experience and it’s quite normal for any 2 people to have the same experiences and be left with completely different feelings about it. Everyone has their own perspective on what happens in life.
