Is anyone else still struggling with birth flashbacks?
I've had a birth debrief and gone through it all multiple times and I'm on my second lot of therapy but it just won't go away and I think of it at least daily and get flashbacks of the birth and all the blood at least every other day 😕
I feel like there should be a way to stop it but I just can't find that way

Yeah babe, especially when people are asking "when are you planning the next" blah blah blah. I can't watch animals or people giving birth on tv anymore as it takes me back to my baby's birth. Please dm me if you need someone who can relate to what you're going through ❤️
@Katie I'm planning the next one when I can watch One Born Every minute without having an anxiety attack 🙃 I can't even look at blood anymore because that's all I can think of unless it's bleeding that I'm completely in control of because that calms me down somehow

Not birth, but I had a difficult pregnancy and do still get triggered into flashbacks for some parts of it. It’s absolutely possible to develop ptsd from pregnancy and delivery, give yourself time and grace
