6 Tips for Handling Stress and Anxiety During Pregnancy

Birth trauma refers to distressing experiences during childbirth that can have lasting psychological effects. It may manifest as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, or difficulty bonding with the baby.

While the fear of birth trauma is a significant source of stress during pregnancy, other factors like hormonal changes, fear of the unknown, health concerns, relationship issues, and financial stress can also contribute to anxiety. Understanding these potential stressors is crucial while pregnant, if seeking support and coping strategies.
