Today is my youngest’s 8th birthday. So it’s also my annual sharing of the most personal thing I have ever published. This year we’ve had a wonderful morning and the nicest thing is that after a seriously traumatic #birth it gets easier every year. #BirthTrauma
I haven't seen the hashtag #ObstetricViolence here, but it is an important issue in #ReproductiveRights for those who #birth. #Childbirth #WomensRights #mothers #parents #obgyn #midwifery #PTSD #BirthTrauma
Examples of Obsteric Violence:
Verbal abuse: “Na hora de fazer não chorou” (“You didn’t cry like that when making the baby”)
Physical Abuse: Withholding food and water, birthing while shackled
Sexual Abuse: Forced episiotomy (cutting of perineum), forced vaginal exams

I did an interview with a journalist a while back for part of an article about birth trauma. Seeing as today is world prematurity awareness day, I thought I might share it here too. 💜 https://www.irishtimes.com/health/your-family/2022/10/08/birth-trauma-i-spent-nine-months-terrified-anxious-and-a-shell-of-the-person-i-once-was/
