Abstract
A woman's past history of sexual trauma is inextricably woven into her pregnancy and birth experience. Two cases are presented by a practicing certified nurse midwife to demonstrate trauma-informed care in the childbearing setting. Providing trauma-informed care universally in the women's healthcare setting is imperative given not all women disclose their history. Empowering survivors may allow for a restorative birth, in which trust of one's own body can be regained.
Keywords: childbirth; sexual abuse; trauma; trauma-informed care.
