Hi Welcome to the Birth Trauma Group! We are Jo and Debbie, your managers. We both had difficult and traumatic births with our children and were appalled to realise how little support there is for women out there in the same position. Many women suffer trauma as the result of childbirth and some actually go on to develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. This can be a very debilitating and isolating experience because it can be difficult for other people to understand what you are going through. Debbie is in the process of trying to set up a national group to campaign on these issues and support other women (see the Birth Trauma Association link on the left), but we thought a place to chat and support each other would be a good start. We hope to offer the following on this board:
Your ideas for extra features on these boards would be very welcome and we'd love to meet you at our chat time Best wishes Debbie and Jo Remember - Come and join us on our CHAT night. Every Monday at 8:00pm GMT. Just click on the CHAT on the left hand side | |||||
