One new mother in twenty is diagnosed with traumatic stress after childbirth. Drawing on mothers' voices and real-life experiences, Sheila Kitzinger explores the anxiety and panic experienced by these women.
One new mother in twenty is diagnosed with traumatic stress after childbirth. In Birth Crisis Sheila Kitzinger explores the disempowerment and anxiety experienced by these women. Key topics discussed include:
increasing intervention in pregnancy
the shift in emphasis from relationships to technology in childbirth
how family, friends and professional caregivers can reach out to traumatized mothers
how women can work through stress to understand themselves more deeply and grow in emotional maturity
how care and the medical system needs to be changed.
Birth Crisis draws on mothers' voices and real-life experiences to explore the suffering after childbirth which has, until now, been brushed under the carpet. It is a fascinating and useful resource for student and practising midwives, all health professionals, and women and their families who want to learn how to overcome a traumatic birth.
