To the moms on this group who experienced post traumatic stress after giving birth, how did you deal with it? Who did you turn to? How did it affect you as a mom?

I am currently 7 weeks postpartum. I’m reaching out to you not for professional advice as there are therapists for that but for emotional support as you get me coz u went through it yourself.

Randomly - or specifically when I’m exhausted I get so anxious that I begin to stutter and find it hard to get through a sentence. Sometimes I get flashbacks, other times I just feel worried.

I had an amazing birth and short labour, however just a few minutes after my baby was born there were complications and I was rushed to the OR. I keep having these irrational fears that something will happen to me and i will be rushed back. I know afterward that this is irrational as I am now healthy but in the moment it feels so real...

Can u reassure me that I’m not alone in this. Can you tell me if it gets better.

Thank you and sending love.
