Your doctor can then make the appropriate adjustments to minimize the risk of birth trauma.

What Causes Birth Trauma?

A number of factors can lead to birth trauma, including:

  • You require intervention during delivery, such as assisted delivery (with the use of forceps) or emergency C-section 
  • You did not get proper care and support at any time throughout your delivery.
  • Your baby requires medical attention following delivery 
  • You had a previous birth injury or trauma
  • Delivery doesn’t meet your expectations
  • Difficulty or complications in childbirth 
  • Your childbirth doesn’t go as planned
  • You or the baby suffer a birth injury 
  • You regularly suffer from anxiety
  • Neonatal death or stillbirth 

Furthermore, you are more likely to be at risk of birth trauma if you experienced prior trauma in your life, such as:
