what can happen when women’s experiences of trauma are not recognised, validated, or appropriately followed up.

When birth trauma is minimised or not fully acknowledged, the impact can extend far beyond the delivery room.

In this Her Body, Her Life, Her Claim mini video, expert midwife and obstetrics witness Emma Twine explores what can happen when women’s experiences of trauma are not recognised, validated, or appropriately followed up.

From delayed psychological support to missed opportunities for learning and improvement in care, minimising trauma can affect recovery, trust in services, and future maternity experiences. It can also obscure important clinical insights that are essential in understanding what went wrong and why.

Watch now to understand why recognising and responding to birth trauma is vital for both patient wellbeing and safe clinical practice.
