Abstract:
Birth is usually seen as a moment of celebration and strength, especially in the case of a normal physiological birth. There are situations however even during an uncomplicated birth that can still result in birth trauma. This panel brings together birth professionals to explore the quiet, often unspoken, experiences of trauma that can occur even in births considered "normal". These wounds may stem from emotional disconnection, unmet expectations, perceived or actual violations of autonomy, family conflicts and more. Together, we will reflect on how trauma presents across diverse birthing experiences, how birth professionals can hold space for healing, and how care practices can be optimized to prioritize dignity, agency, and long-term emotional well-being.
