Thread: It's #BirthTraumaAwarenessWeek, something close to my twisty heart. I wasn't sure whether to share anything, but I remembered how lost I felt in the esrly days and and thought maybe if someone else out there is going through it, it might help to know you're not alone.

Or you might know someone who is or has suffered this (if you're reading this then you know at least one person affected!)
So here are some random thoughts from someone 9 years down the line:

Birth trauma is trauma. If you think it was traumatic, it was. It doesn't matter if someone had it worse than you, your trauma and your feelings are still valid. If someone you know tells you they suffered birth trauma, then believe them. FGS don't tell them women do this all the

time, or drop babies out in rice fields, or that it's shit for everyone, or "but it was all worth it", or worst of all "if you have another one it will be better next time". All of these have been said to me. They're not helpful. Just please don't.
