The birth of a child is meant to be a joyous occasion for all. After all, you’re welcoming a new life into the world, and you look forward to playing a role in shaping your baby’s future.

Sadly, not all mothers get to experience such excitement. Due to birth trauma, many mothers suffer distress that can continue well after childbirth.

Such trauma can sometimes be the result of medical malpractice and can place additional medical care and expenses on you, causing strain on your life and income. When birth trauma occurs, you should have a trusted lawyer to assist you.

When you secure a birth trauma lawyer in Florida , you will be better equipped to take on the medical establishment. Doing so is not an easy feat by any means, and it’s certainly not something you should attempt on your own.

What Is Birth Trauma?

Birth trauma can occur at the time of childbirth or after. This condition affects the mother and results in distress that can consist of a variety of emotions. Some mothers who experience birth trauma feel guilt, shock, fear, helplessness, panic-stricken, or suffer from anxiety.

If you’ve noticed such emotional disturbances during or even after childbirth, you may want to consider securing the services of an experienced Florida birth trauma lawyer. When you do, you can infinitely increase your likelihood of winning the compensation you deserve. What’s more, a compensation award will help you can pay for current medical expenses resulting from your birth trauma and more. 

Studies suggest that as many as one out of every three mothers suffer from birth trauma at some point throughout childbirth. When this happens, you might experience significant emotional trauma.

Although birth trauma is impossible to prevent at all times, you can take steps to assist in reducing your chances of being affected by it. One of the most crucial things you can do is communicate what and how you’re feeling with your doctor.

Your doctor can then make the appropriate adjustments to minimize the risk of birth trauma.

What Causes Birth Trauma?

A number of factors can lead to birth trauma, including:

  • You require intervention during delivery, such as assisted delivery (with the use of forceps) or emergency C-section 
  • You did not get proper care and support at any time throughout your delivery.
  • Your baby requires medical attention following delivery 
  • You had a previous birth injury or trauma
  • Delivery doesn’t meet your expectations
  • Difficulty or complications in childbirth 
  • Your childbirth doesn’t go as planned
  • You or the baby suffer a birth injury 
  • You regularly suffer from anxiety
  • Neonatal death or stillbirth 

Furthermore, you are more likely to be at risk of birth trauma if you experienced prior trauma in your life, such as:

  • Domestic violence
  • Migration trauma
  • Childhood abuse
  • Sexual abuse
  • Rape
