Birth After Trauma Programme

Are you pregnant after experiencing a traumatic birth? It doesn’t have to be previous birth trauma. Perhaps you're carrying the emotional weight of past harm or even adverse childhood experiences. If the thought of childbirth, the maternity system, or parenthood feels overwhelming or fills you with fear, know that you're not alone. You deserve to feel safe, supported, and confident.

 

You can overcome past trauma. This programme isn’t just for those with difficult birth experiences; it’s also for anyone whose pregnancy journey is shaped by challenging life events.

 

Join The Essex Birth Company for this 10-hour programme (delivered over several sessions), designed to support you every step of the way and build your confidence. You will receive: 

 

  • Tailored, comprehensive birth preparation to help you move forward  with clarity about your upcoming birth
