@pennylope1979 For sure, birth trauma is a lot more common than I realized. I’ve read somewhere the number is about 1/3 of women experience birth trauma. Breaks my heart for moms everywhere. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and offer words of kindness.

@kristalyn Thank you for sharing a part of your story, I have heard from so many how painful it is when you tear! I’m so sorry. Thank you for the encouragement, I appreciate that. All the women in my family and friend group have babies and look fantastic. My mom for example had 6 of us and has...

@mimithemuse I have read and re-read your response about a dozen times. The term “birth trauma” wasn’t in my vocabulary prior to pregnancy, and I’m amazed and incredibly saddened to learn about how many women find themselves in this category. I have read many stories of birth trauma, I always...

@karensmith Thanks so much for that info, that’s really helpful. I saw my PCP today (first one since moving back to my hometown). She is wanting me to find a very specialized PT, not just anyone who is trained in pelvic floor rehab given my unusual and extensive injuries. This will mean I will...

@karensmith Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post and respond! I’ve had to fight so hard to breastfeed (we dealt with a difficult tongue tie with my son and it took him months to learn how to nurse… lots of LC visits, craniosacral specialists, and a month+ of round the clock...

@gonecrazy Thank you for taking the time to read my post and for sharing your story. I’m familiar with vestibular rehab (I’m not formally trained in it, just learned techniques in school). That had to have been really scary and frustrating to face with a newborn! I can definitely relate to the...

@angelofhearts At this point, I don’t believe I’m interested in any future pregnancies, but I appreciate you sharing your friends experience. I was also 28 when I gave birth oddly enough. Thank you again for the kind words 💛

@angelofhearts Thank you for taking time to read my post, I know it’s lengthy for sure. I’m so sorry for your trauma. Your story and trauma are both valid. Yes my baby is healthy. I’m thankful for that. We had a huge struggle with BF for several months and a small cardiac scare at the...

@dirtrabbit11 It’s interesting you say that! I am in the US. I’ve had two OBs tell me I have a case against the hospital for medical negligence. Which is what happened to me and ultimately leading to my injuries and PTSD. I spoke with an attorney and they told me they felt the cost of pursing a...

@sunshinegirl23 It is very overwhelming!! I seriously totally forgot about those salad kits. I used to use them all the time when I was working! Thank you for suggesting those, I think that’s a great idea. I think I have read your response about a dozen times. Your words really resonated...

@sunshinegirl23 Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I know it’s long. I did leave out several details to try to shorten it, but my story always ends up being a novel. A support group would be a great idea, I will bring that up to my therapist when I see her next. I started counseling...

@timtownley520 Thank you for taking the time to read my post. You’re right! I know I won’t find anyone who’s ever experienced what I have. I was more or less hoping to find anyone that could relate to any one of my injuries I mentioned. As an OT I understand healing can take so long which is...

Please, I am desperate to talk to any one who might have insight as to what healing might look like. Even if you only can relate to a few things, I just want to know about your experience! I gave birth 14 months ago. It was a traumatic birth, that lasted 48 hours and ended in a c section. I...
