The Hidden Side of Birth: Injury, Trauma, and PTSD with Angela Ballantyne

from C B m E & U · host Centre for Biomedical Ethics

Send us Fan MailDid you know that over 80% of people who give birth experience an injury? That anywhere between 30 and 50% of people who give birth find it traumatic? And that up to 15% of people experience PTSD from giving birth? Professor Angela Ballantyne (University of Otago) talks about what birth trauma means, who is at the highest risk for experiencing it, and why so few people talk about it despite how common it is (spoiler: it's only partially because blokes don't get it). Remember people, be savvy!
