Post Natal Post Traumatic Stress Disorder What is it?? Causes Mode of Delivery Fear for child’s life and mother’s own life Lack of Control Previous traumatic event “The midwife was listening for my babys heartbeat and asking me what was wrong then she panicked. ‘The heartbeats too low we have to get this baby out now, your blood pressure is too high, we need to get a drip into you……you are going to bleed too much.’ She was so unprofessional I completely freaked out and was screaming out for help.
