Notes for the Books.
According to Penny Skimkin,(Founder of Prevention and Treatment of Traumatic Childbirth), “between 25 and 34 percent of women report that their births were traumatic. A birth is said to be traumatic when the individual (mother, father, or other witness believes the mother’s or her baby’s life was in danger, or that a serious threat to the mother’s or her baby’s physical or emotional integrity existed.”
