dc.descriptionResearch suggests that one in three pregnant people experience psychological trauma associated with birth. The negative effects of psychological birth trauma can be short-lived or long-lasting. They can impact the parent-infant relationship, the confidence to cope with the challenges of parenting, breastfeeding behaviour, partner relationships and future reproductive decisions. Experiencing birth trauma increases the probability of postnatal depression by four to five times. Psychological birth trauma is often preventable and treatable if anticipated and proactively managed. Genuine, compassionate care and shared decision-making, coupled with heightened awareness, are instrumental to its prevention. Anaesthetists are well-placed to assist in preventing and decreasing the impact of psychological birth trauma.en_US
