On today’s #choosetochallenge series we are meeting with Emily founder of thegoodbirthco a Registered Nurse, #birthtrauma expert and mama of three to unpack our birth stories and learn to heal together. Birth trauma is a form of PTSD caused by a stressful or frightening birthing experience, which can have long term effects on your mental health when left untreated. In this series we discuss: 💛How to recognize the signs of a traumatic birth. 💛How to prepare for the unexpected. 💛How to heal and move forward. “Your decisions and body autonomy always win; but having your needs heard and expectations met require strategy not chance.” - Emily **Trigger Warning** ⚠️ This discussion is going to get real, really quickly. It is important to recognize that discussing birth can be triggering for many of us. 💕Sharing is truly caring, share with a loved one who would appreciate the support.
