Trauma can seriously alter important aspects of child development that occur before the age of three. These can include the relationship and bond with parents, as well as fundamental development in the areas of language, mobility, physical and social skills, and the management of emotions. Providing support to help the family rebuild a safe and nurturing home will help the baby or toddler recover. Infants and prenatal babies routinely suffer from traumatic experiences that affect negatively.
to their development. These experiences make it difficult for them to manage stress, deal with conflict, build self-esteem, or even become fully attached to their parents. In old age, early unresolved trauma affects personality, behavior, and relationship formation. They also affect physiological characteristics, such as balance and the ability to orient oneself in space, and mental characteristics, such as the ability to focus attention and learn effectively from experience.
In short, one's self-image and the way one responds to external events are affected by early trauma. In addition, traumatic events affect the baby's neurological development. Our physiological response to stress is based on this neurological development, which means that adult responses to stress are likely to be very similar to those we learned when we were prenatals and infants, and may depend on them. It is known as birth trauma and can occur when the mother who gives birth has a physical, emotional or psychological experience in which she feels insecure shortly before, during or after delivery and delivery.
According to Benjamin, anxiety, hypervigilance, a sense of disconnection, overwhelming thoughts, or panic in the days, weeks, or months after birth are just a few of the symptoms you may experience after birth trauma. Another type of birth trauma is when the experience of labor causes the giving birth parent to recall past traumatic events, such as sexual abuse, domestic violence, or emotional or physical distress. When you experience trauma during childbirth or remember past trauma due to your current birthing experience, it can be difficult for your daily life to be the center of attention. Anxiety, hypervigilance, and panic in the days, weeks, or months after birth are just some of the symptoms of birth trauma.
Psychologists believe that children who had difficult births are more likely to be angry, aggressive and anxious compared to children who had easy births. The second category of birth trauma is when the baby is at medical risk, when there is a stillbirth, or when the baby dies soon after birth. Couples are often excluded from the conversation about birth trauma, but they can also suffer trauma when they witness that the safety of one of the parents giving birth or the baby is at risk. It's important that you have a strong support team.
Benjamin noted that it could be a therapist, a postpartum doula, trusted friends or family members, your partner, or a parent group for parents who gave birth and had a traumatic experience during childbirth. Similarly, moving away from your parents right after birth can be particularly traumatic, as can interventions such as induced labor and C-section delivery.
