“…up to one in three Australian women who have given birth have experienced birth trauma and one in 10 emerge from childbirth with post-traumatic stress disorder.”
Every woman who is pregnant and giving birth, is owed a high standard of care from every doctor, nurse, midwife, or other health care professional they are treated by. This includes being fully advised by your treating medical professionals about the benefits and risks of the medical treatment available, so women are able to give fully informed consent. If you have suffered complications in your pregnancy and birth which has left you, or your child, with ongoing trauma, please contact us to discuss the potential legal resolutions open to you.
