This week our host Theo is joined by Dr Kim Thomas, CEO of the Birth Trauma Association, and former police officer and mum Gill Castle to talk about birth trauma. They share information about what birth trauma is, covering everything from birth injuries to PTSD, and provide practical advice for affected mums and their families.
Topics that we discuss on the show include: what causes birth trauma, symptoms, treatment, preparing for birth, the long term impacts of birth trauma on family, returning to work and bonding with your baby.
Don't suffer in silence! Listen in and let's break the final taboo in women's health.
This podcast is sponsored by the law firm Irwin Mitchell.
