Can someone have a scary birth experience? Oh yes. And can that scary birth experience lead to post traumatic stress disorder? That’s a distinct possibility. And if post traumatic stress disorder occurs, how does it intrude on your experience in this pregnancy, or your hopes and dreams for the future of your family? Or maybe how it will change the way you think or your own sense of self-identity. 
Join Marie and Colby Cohen-Archer, MS, PhD, as they discuss the impact of birth trauma on mothers, breastfeeding, postpartum mood disorders, and more. And they’ll talk about how to heal from birth trauma, as well as how to use some coping tips. And, if you or someone you know has had this experience, listen as Dr. Cohen-Archer lists several different ways to get help—including some you’ve ever heard of—and how you can find the help you need to feel better.

Traumatic Birth Experience: The Impact and Healing

Every new mother hears that breast is best. Many decide to breastfeed so their baby has the best. But soon after birth, the days are often fraught with sleep deprivation and conflicting messages from peers, family members, and health care professionals. Later, negative messages from the media and critical comments from family members and others may trigger mothers to question their decision. Feelings of inadequacy, intimidation and societal pressure to wean can cause mothers to give up breastfeeding before meeting their goals.
The aim of this show is to empower parents to overcome the barriers that keep them from beginning or continuing to breastfeed. Through discussion of hospital practices, milk supply, medications, returning to work, milk storage options, and more, this show will provide an informed and supportive voice for new families and established families, so that they can take charge of their breastfeeding experience from conception through weaning.
