Day 5 of Birth Trauma Awareness Week #BTAW2026 is looking at physical health costs of birth trauma.
Our survey showed that many experienced devastating physical symptoms after traumatic birth, including bladder injuries, infection and anal sphincter damage. #BirthTraumaCostMe

It’s Day 4 of Birth Trauma Awareness Week #BTAW2026, and we’re looking at the financial cost of birth trauma.
Our survey of 903 women showed that birth trauma often led to a range of unexpected costs, such as paying for counselling or private physiotherapy.
