We are so conditioned to not ask for help and to behave as though we are ok even if things are falling apart.

At Birthtalk.org, we often hear traumatised women describe their birth as a car crash, or a train wreck.  You might say, “But that’s just birth”, and dismiss these women as especially ‘sensitive’ o…
