Occasionally, the birth experience may not be what women have hoped for and has left them feeling distressed, anxious or traumatised. These feelings and experiences can predispose postnatal depression and/or post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD). The support, counselling, understanding, and explanation given to women by midwives in the postnatal period can provide benefits to their psychological wellbeing.
A service to discuss your birth experience is available to all women to discuss past, present and future birthing events. After your meeting, should you require a further follow-up, we will refer you to the appropriate person.
We aim to contact you within 8 weeks of your referral but due to high demand of the Reflect and Resolution Service (Maternity Debrief) there may be a delay before an appointment is arranged
