Description

Birth Crisis by Sheila Kitzinger examines the profound impact of traumatic stress following childbirth, affecting one in twenty new mothers. This comprehensive exploration addresses the disempowerment and anxiety that women experience during and after delivery, drawing on real mothers' experiences and voices. Kitzinger analyses how increasing medical intervention, the shift from relationship-centred to technology-driven care, and systemic healthcare practices contribute to postnatal trauma. The book provides practical guidance for family members, friends, and healthcare professionals on supporting traumatised mothers through their recovery. Beyond coping strategies, Kitzinger offers pathways for women to process stress, develop deeper self-understanding, and achieve emotional growth. The book also outlines necessary changes to maternity care and medical systems to better protect women's wellbeing and dignity during one of life's most significant transitions.
