Postpartum depression has become a more recognized mental
illness over the past decade as a result of education and increased
awareness. Traumatic childbirth, however, is still often
overlooked, resulting in a scarcity of information for health
professionals. This is in spite of up to 34% of new mothers
reporting experiencing a traumatic childbirth and prevalence rates
rising for high risk mothers, such as those who experience
stillbirth or who had very low birth weight infants.
This ground-breaking book brings together an academic, a
clinician and a birth trauma activist. Each chapter discusses
current research, women s stories, the common themes in the stories
and the implications of these for practice, clinical case studies
and a clinician s insights and recommendations for care. Topics
covered include: mothers perspectives, fathers perspectives, the
impact on breastfeeding, the impact on subsequent births, PTSD
after childbirth and EMDR treatment for PTSD.
This book is a valuable resource for health professionals who
come into contact with new mothers, providing the most current and
accurate information on traumatic childbirth. It also presents
mothers experiences in a manner that is accessible to women, their
partners, and families.

'fizzes with warmth, humour and tenderness, from the first page to
the last. . . I adored it' Cathy Bramley, author of Appleby Farm
Does first love deserve a second chance? When she was almost
seventeen, Rosie Draper locked eyes with a charismatic student
called Peter during their first week at art college, changing the
course of her life forever. Now, on the cusp of sixty-five and
recently widowed, Rosie is slowly coming to terms with a new
future. And after a chance encounter with Peter, forty-seven years
later, they both begin to wonder 'what if' . . . Told with warmth,
wit and humour, We'll Always Have Paris is a charming, moving and
uplifting novel about two people; the choices they make, the lives
they lead and the love they share.
