Your well-being matters as much as the roles you play

Becoming a mom can be a profound and life-changing experience, but it’s not always straightforward. For many, childbirth itself can be overwhelming and even traumatic. Birth trauma—whether from a physically challenging delivery, unexpected complications, or emotional distress during labor—can leave lasting emotional scars. Combined with the responsibilities and changes of motherhood, it can feel like too much to handle alone.

If you’re struggling after a difficult birth, know that you’re not alone. Many women experience feelings of fear, sadness, guilt, or anxiety related to their birth experience. The good news? Support is available, and therapy for birth trauma can help you process your experience, heal, and find peace.

Replaying your birth experience in your mind or feeling distressed when thinking about it?
