Traumatic Childbirth
Postpartum depression has become a more recognized mental illness over the past decade as a result of education and increased awareness. Traumatic childbirth, however, is still often overlooked, resulting in a scarcity of information for health professionals. This is in spite of up to 34% of new mothers reporting experiencing a traumatic childbirth and prevalence rates rising for high risk mothers, such as those who experience stillbirth or who had very low birth weight infants. This ground-breaking book brings together an academic, a clinician and a birth trauma activist. Each chapter discusses current research, women\'s stories, the common themes in the stories and the implications of these for practice, clinical case studies and a clinician\'s insights and recommendations for care. Topics covered include: mothers\' perspectives, fathers\' perspectives, the impact on breastfeeding, the impact on subsequent births, PTSD after childbirth and EMDR treatment for PTSD.This book is a valuable resource for health professionals who come into contact with new mothers, providing the most current and accurate information on traumatic childbirth. It also presents mothers\' experiences in a manner that is accessible to women, their partners, and families. 9 Line drawings, black and white; 9 Tables, black and white
