What Are the Most Common Injuries to Mothers During Birth?
Possible physical and emotional damage during birth includes:
- Ruptured uterus
- Post-partum hemorrhaging
- Vaginal or anal tears
- Prolapsed uterus
- PND (post-natal depression) or PTSD (post-natal traumatic stress disorder)
When a woman gives birth, she puts her body through extreme trauma. Mothers are very resilient, however, and with today’s medical advances, serious injuries are rare. However, when an injury does occur, it’s natural to want to understand why this injury happened to you and whether it could have been prevented.
