Main Symptoms of Birth Trauma 👩🏻‍🍼

- Reliving the experience in flashbacks/nightmares
- Avoiding anything/one reminding you of trauma
- Being hypervigiliant - Alert, irritable, jumpy
- Feeling low in mood and unhappy

Remember you do not need to experience all 4. You may not be sure you're even feeling one of these. But it is always best to book a debrief with your midwife regardless.
