BIRTH TRAUMA

I think it's safe to say that we all have a certain level of nervousness and fear when we are preparing to deliver our babies. But, we put our confidence and trust in our healthcare providers to do what is best and safest for us, and believe they have our best interest at hand. Are there women who have beautiful experiences while bringing their little babes into the world? Absolutely! But the reality is that there are a lot of moms who leave the hospital feeling violated, taken advantage of or simply in complete shock from what they just went through.

Today we are hearing from Taylor. A mom who sat in the NICU while her sons brain was closely monitored, and he was rigorously tested for brain damage. Her story isn't one any mama hopes for, but she knows that by sharing it, it can allow other moms to know their rights and learn when, and how, to advocate for themselves.
