Leah McLaren opens up about the trauma of giving birth. She writes:
“Rebecca Schiller, chair of BirthRights, an organization that seeks to promote human rights in childbirth, told me that institutional denial of women’s experience is a huge problem, especially when it comes to post-natal care. ‘There is a general attitude of “Your experience doesn’t matter, all that matters is a healthy baby.”‘ When, of course, the two are inextricably related.
Part of the problem, I have come to believe, is that pregnant women are not properly informed of the risks of birth trauma and injury in advance.”
