Partners experiences of

childbirth as traumatic.

Are you a parent who was present during the birth of your child and witnessed uncomplicated childbirth as traumatic?

How are you feeling about the birth?

Many partners experience being present at the birth as traumatic. We would like to hear about your experience.

The study

We're conducting a research study to explore and understand partners experiences of witnessing uncomplicated childbirth as traumatic and we need your help.
