The Birth Trauma Mama Podcast

This show is such a wonderful resource for people who are looking for a space to process their birth/pregnancy trauma or experience. As a labor nurse it’s incredibly interesting to hear these stories as well to hear the other side of patients experiences. Love highly recommend!

I discovered the Birth Trauma Mama Podcast after my own birth trauma 10 months ago. I appreciate how articulate and graceful these moms are when sharing their stories. I can connect in various ways to each story even when it’s significantly different from my own. For all of the icky that comes with birth trauma, this podcast feels like a soft place to land. Thank you, Kayleigh, for creating space and guiding this conversation to let us know we aren’t alone!

Finding this podcast has given me such a sense of community, in what has otherwise felt like a very lonely journey. I am exactly 9mo pp, and experienced birth trauma with my daughter last July. I am in therapy, and was starting to feel much better, however I recently had a pretty bad relapse when a close friend gave birth. Seeing her experience go relatively smoothly brought up so much grief, and I realized this will most likely be a lifelong struggle. I particularly appreciate the listener stories, and thank you thank you to the brave women who share - it is so impactful. My daughter had the same complication as Lindsey, and was also a full term birth. The way she described the shock of having a healthy pregnancy and baby suddenly turn to a NICU experience made me feel so seen. I am so sad to think someone else out there went through the same thing as us, but it also hurts when your trauma feels invisible to others. Thank you for giving a platform to this seemingly unpopular topic, and hopefully it can help take the “othering” out of mothering ❤️

Please do not compare miscarriage to abortion. Thanks.
