Writer Looking for Childbirth-Related PTSD Stories
Christi Collins is writing a white paper for the International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN) on childbirth-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and is looking for moms' stories about PTSD. She says it doesn't matter whether the mom has been officially diagnosed by a healthcare provider or self-diagnosed. She's looking for your perspective on your PTSD symptoms, why you viewed your birth as traumatic, how your family and friends reacted, what you tried during your recovery process and what worked/what didn't, as well as any words of wisdom for moms who are just now learning about PTSD. She'd also be interested in any questions you may have about PTSD. If you'd like to participate, send Christi your stories and questions at mom2ewc@yahoo.com.
