You are almost blissfully happy that you have had your baby.  You are fine, the baby is fine and home with your family.

​

Yet there is a part of you that still feels nervous; unsettled.  Everyone tells you that this feeling is normal.  "You're a new mother, with L plates on and just beginning to learn the subtle cues from your baby."  But you find yourself crying; and low at times. Not quiet able to put your finger on what the problem is.

​

Current research show that 30% births leave the mother, partner or family in a state of trauma.

​

Of those 1.5-9% suffer PTSD.

​

Signs of stress maybe:

Hyper vigilance

Tearfulness

Anxiety

Anger

Unable to think clearly

Tiredness (which comes with being a new parent)

But, unable to rest

Overly tidy

Feeling of disconnection

Still healing

Unable to look at the baby or hold your baby

Unable to bond with baby

Internal dialogue - repeating  birth story

Not feeling heard

​
