Birth Trauma - Episode 2

In the second episode of our three-part investigation, we hear stories from parents about the impact birth trauma has had on their lives. They share some of the circumstances that led to the resultant birth trauma, and we unpack the loss of control that many parents experience before, during and even post-labour.
