My story
On March 4 2010 I gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Ella Juliet Laws. During childbirth there were unforeseen complications and it was a very traumatic birth for everyone. The intense fear and helplessness that I felt on that day that left me with short term flashbacks, panic attacks and debilitating anxiety. Fortunately for me it was short lived but those few days were the darkest.
I have since learned about Birth Trauma or Post Natal Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It can occur following an experience involving the threat of death or serious injury to an individual or another person close to them (e.g. their baby). It is different to Post Natal Depression although is often mistaken for it. The disorder is receiving increasing recognition but still too many mothers are suffering genuine, and sometimes long lasting, psychological distress, guilt and isolation following a process as seemingly 'natural' as childbirth. The Birth Trauma Association seeks to raise awareness, campaign for prevention and provide support for people who find it hard to cope with their childbirth experience.
After having my children I took up running to get myself in physical and emotional shape. I am now training for the Honda LA Marathon and running for this cause so close to my heart. Please support me and the Birth Trauma Association.
Thank you!
