In the UK pregnancy and postnatal care, especially following perinatal trauma and loss, is frequently a very fragmented experience. Many women and birthing people, often at a time of overwhelm, are unaware of what help is available and/or how to access it.
The statistics are shocking and speak for themselves as to why professional guidance and support at this time should be of paramount importance and be accessible in a timely manner:
of women have pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy
of women have urinary incontinence up to 7 years postnatally
of post partum women have some degree of pelvic organ prolapse
report maternal mental health concerns whilst pregnant/1 year postpartum
“England’s maternity services are under massive and increasing pressures as births rise and serious midwife shortages worsen. On top of this there is significant underinvestment from the Government. Maternity services are caught in a vicious cycle." Executive Director for the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) Birte Harlev-Lam, 2021
A significant factor contributing to the need for better maternity care is that, according to UK Birth Trauma Associations, 30,000 women experienced birth trauma in 2022. It is now well acknowledged that birth trauma affects not only the physical but also the emotional and mental wellbeing of a mother and, in 2020, TOMMY'S Charity reported:
To our knowledge, no other professionally led program addresses both the physical healing from pregnancy and birth with a trauma informed program that supports the effects of perinatal trauma and loss.
