9. Speaking Up: Maternal Birth Trauma with Amy Dawes
Manage episode 371760127 series 2911844
One in three mothers are likely to experience trauma during childbirth, yet it’s something that’s not talked about enough.
In this episode of Law Matters – to highlight Birth Trauma Awareness Week – Catherine Henry speaks to Co-Founder and CEO of the Australasian Birth Trauma Association, Amy Dawes, about her birth trauma experience and why she wants to see a national inquiry established.
This year the theme of Birth Trauma Awareness Week is postpartum PTSD. Catherine and Amy talk through what postpartum PTSD is and why our expectant mothers must be informed of the risks involved with birth.
Catherine and Amy delve into the stories of women who have experienced unnecessary trauma, the lasting impacts it has had on their lives, and what can be done about it.
