For many women, pregnancy and birth is a joyful and positive experience. However, in the UK alone, about 30,000 women a year experience a traumatic birth. In this episode, we speak to Nikki Wilson about birth trauma. Nikki is CEO of Make Birth Better - a collective of experts who bring together lived experience and extensive professional knowledge of birth trauma and vicarious trauma. We talk about why birth trauma happens, how birth trauma shows, the impact of birth trauma on partners and families, and whether it is possible to have another positive experience following a previous birth trauma.
