Childbirth: A drastic experience for mothers
The birth of a child is a drastic experience for every mother. While it’s often portrayed as a time of happiness and joy, it can also be traumatic for some mothers. Birth trauma can leave deep emotional wounds that can last long after birth. Our offer of a birth trauma test can help to identify a possible birth trauma and is a first step towards the detection and treatment of birth trauma.
